It's important to remember that software development is a collaborative effort, and building good relationships with your colleagues and superiors is crucial to your success as well. It's something I will definitely have to improve on.

Nice article, building/ learning in public and good networking also speeds up the process

True! I didn't even think about that one.

Do you know of any good resources/examples that exemplify good "learning in public"?

I don't have a well-organized resources at hand now but for example, whenever you share what you are learning or your work with others in public, you get feedback on how well you are doing, where you're making mistakes and how you can improve. And by doing this you get to build a network of like-minded people around you, which likely can help you land a job.

Totally! Skills are way more transferrable than people like to believe.
