Great post... All the things in the post I am experiencing as a Junior developer. Reading this post I got motivated that's it's normal for Junior as I used to think that I am doing something wrong and going in a wrong direction.

Thanks for this

Unfortunately, imposter syndrome never goes away. As we grow we constantly feel that we don't know what we’re doing because we're doing bigger things that push us to the edge.

You covered most topics already which is good. I would just add becoming active on social media and joining communities to boost your network. And to start writing so that your can document your journey and use it as a learning resource.

Another thing that junior developers could do is build products and launch them on ProductHunt and Gumroad. This can be a good way to get into tech and along the way you will pickup business, networking, marketing and sales skills.

Don't rush is one of the very important tips 😌.

Slow down, take a step back to get a picture of your code. Please ask if you don't know the correct answer. Don't make assumptions.

Slow down to get faster, don't move fast break things.

Thanks for the wonderful motivation. I'm 13 and most times, I feel like I'm too young to be a web developer (I'm not even a junior developer πŸ˜…). I started web development when I was 11 and thanks to you, I know how to improve my knowledge on my field of study. I know I may be too young for this, but I hope that I can help others the way you've helped me.

Let me tell you that you'd probably be a way better developer than not just only me, but all the people you read about. Starting that young gives you ages to improve and build stuff. You have "almost infinite time" compared with an adult. So use it wisely!

But don't forget to have fun with your friends, that's essential, and more at your age! πŸ˜‰
