Your methods are good practices that every beginner developer should know and build upon. I am also a self taught FE developer with 6+ years experience and I used many of your tactics in interviews along the way. In fact, just coming from an interview where I used some of them and it went great :) In this fast paced and constantly changing branch, versatility is an important ability, as it's almost impossible to master all concepts/technologies required in a project. If you say that your mindset is oriented towards constantly learning new things and adapting to challenges, it will give you a big advantage in interviews. Make this look like one of your strenghts and it will get you a long way. Best of luck Julia, and thank you for the article. Congratulations on your job, you're going to be a great developer !

<h1>Hello World</h1> My name is Horia Bologan and I am an computer enthusiast, freelancing Front-End (FE) Web Developer based in Oradea, Romania. I love gaming, sports (almost all of them), I love to travel, party, being around friends, but ever since childhood, after Lego in the world presented any challenge anymore, computers came along to change that. I started as a hardware enthusiast and hobby-ist, then later I even had a chance to work in a computer service. Quite a messy and tedious job. All those old parts around you can really drain your positive energy. :) My journey on the "soft-side" started in 2015 when this new and fascinating world opened for me in such a way, that the cruiosity never stopped. I will come back with more impressions and details in future blog post. After a quick HTML/CSS learning, everything exploded into Javascript, PHP, frameworks, CMS-es, task runners, templating engines, servers. Then if you want all of those to play well you have to work in scrums, be AGILE (which where I'm from means "Do your fuckin' job!" ). They all seem so overwhelming even to this day, yet the day I started seems so far now. My only regret is that didn't do it 10 years ago. As a personal "human" impression, development is a way of helping all other non-related businesses adapt to our times. It's the point where normal, non tech-savy business owners need your help to keep their dreams alive. It's a nice feeling that you can somehow close this gap and help them keep their flame burning :P . Of course, it also had frustrating moments and many sleepless nights. It's not easy to learn everything by yourself, especially when you have to learn and adapt to 200 new small concepts/day. Why would I use that? Do I put this in my brain? If so, where? The biggest challenge for me at the moment is being able to adapt customer's real life issues into code. That small edge that makes everything look so easy for experienced developers. I am still waiting for that "AHA moment" of confort with Javascript, yet I still write it. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it blows, but baby-steps will take me there. I found Hashnode it by accident, and after all those years of ignorance ( "I'm just here for the articles/comments"), I feel that moment could come faster by giving a little back to the community. I found alot of people looking for inspiration, a reason to keep moving forward, and I am here to help others those. Maybe, I will find mine along the road aswell :P Cheers everyone !
