Hi Josef Let me tell you something, you cannot be quick if you are junior, no body can, being slow is normal in the beginning. I am slow too, although I am ahead of you in the field by one year. But your speed will increase gradually so you don't have to worry, and even if you are really slow in grasping new technologies, you might be fast in applying them.. and you might be gifted in connecting the dots between different technologies. So don't let a point of weakness put you down, you might have a lot of strengths. I remember when you first joined hashnode, you were very passionate and you invested a lot of time and effort to learn, And I really believe that this is all what it takes to become a developer : passion, effort and time. So forget about your previous experience and look ahead to fulfill your dream. Good luck
