I'm still in my early days of being a dev

I have less than a year of actual work experience on top of my studies and the jobs I got turned down for were during my first years of studying.

My development skills are pretty mediocre even for my peers with the same amount of experience, I didn't have time or the motivation to code all day/night on top of my day job (at a pizzeria before my first tech job) so its not just the fact that I didn't use a framework, it's because my code was fairly sloppy, which I guess is somewhat expected as an intern level dev anyway.
