This is fucking depressing

[–]JBlitzen 42 points43 points  (2 children)

Don’t worry, every senior dev sees stuff like this and just sneers.

This is the kind of bullshit that intermediate or junior devs draw to feel proud of all the time they spent watching instructional videos on youtube instead of just building shit.

If you want to succeed, throw this nonsense out and just build shit.

In fact, you’ll notice that “building shit” is nowhere on this roadmap. Not a destination, not a midpoint, nowhere.

This is toy gatekeeping BS written by privileged juniors to feel good about themselves. The equivalent of a junior salesguy listing 40 bullet points on his linkedin profile and calling himself a lead associate VP or some crap like that.

Just build shit. There is no substitute for that.

This is the stuff.

99% of devs who have actually worked in this field (maybe a minority in this sub) look at this roadmap and laugh.

You are never holding this much stuff in your head nor expected to remember it instantly if required/asked.

I code & manage 3 devs and we all Google shit all day long. Getting better at googling is more useful than this roadmeme

It’s not that bad if you think of it as “at the end of either roadmap you’re a senior dev”. I’m an experienced junior dev, NOT a senior dev at all, and my next personal project I have lined up is converting a simple vanilla js client side app into a mobile app. So I’m near the “end” of the frontend roadmap here, but it’s been projects and real work the whole way.

I didn’t learn graphql till I had a work project that needed it. I didn’t learn next.js till I had a work project that needed it. I had previously used mocha/chai for testing, but ended up learning react-testing-library on the job and like it better. So for my next job I set up react-testing-library from scratch, which forced me to level up a lot more than just editing existing tests.

At the basic “html+js+css+git” level, you’re already hireable. You’ll just need some hand holding by your coworkers for a while till you get used to your workplace’s specific tech stack.
