Amazing experience I have a similar experience as yours. This is my second month. During my first month I was solving bugs and issues. You are right you do learn a lot from just solving issues. 👍
Very interesting read! 👍
Could you please share a little bit on how you got a job as a self taught developer?
Was it hard? How long did it take you?
Thanks! :)
Truly an inspiring story, very good job. A extraordinary read if you are felling down or overwelmed.
Could anyone recognize the mousepad on the image? It looks very nice.
Amazing story 👏
I felt the same way when I started a full time job as a Junior Web Dev. I've built websites before, always from scratch. The first few months on the job was very humbling. I realized how much I had to learn.
My boss and senior devs were very helpful. I started learning Backbone.js and D3.js which were part of the stack and around the 5th month, I got a huge task which was an important part of the app. It was an amazing learning experience.
Never stop learning. Good luck!
Awesome story Milecia. 🙌
I think this story will resonate with a lot of people, especially the ones who took sharp turns and changed their career path. Getting over that "intruder" mode is the worst.
I felt like a fraud for 2 months until I accepted the fact that I'm no longer an English language teacher, and no, I won't be getting back into that field.
I'm a self taught software engineer. I dropped out of high school when I was in 9th grade and got my ged. I kepT getting in trouble for skipping class to go tp the library and study what I wanted. I started by learning VB, but in 1998 I moved to java. Now node JS. back than I read books on java uml design patterns and database modeling. I almost git Java certified, but after 5 years I realized passing the interview is all that mattered. Now after 20 years of programming and most recently learning ML and deep learning. I would suggest hackerrank.com or edx.org The HackerRank Interview Preparation Kit is all you need. If you want to work at amazon or google. Its based on the book cracking the coding interview. My ged good enough diploma and some self study allows me to lead a team of developers with Masters Degrees and PHD's on a ML project.
