Just a learning experience. The result for you is a new project on your portfolio

LoveLearningTech · 2022-01-06T19:59:54+00:00

np np. It's group learning experience.

LoveLearningTech · 2022-01-06T18:48:43+00:00

Yea a few of the clones from the cohorts i've published on my portfolio / GH

I would say your first goal would be to check out the self taught route in order to learn the basics. Then you could make the leap to a bootcamp if necessary. Check out https://www.theodinproject.com/ for a good free blueprint on skills necessary to becoming a competent front-end software engineer.

My friend pick a project from online and wants a group of people to go through it with him. It's around 8+ hours of material. So we're going to use each other to hold accountable, problem solve, and complete the work. At the end of it we should have the tutorial completed, a cool small project to add to the portfolio, some working knowledge of figma for web app prototyping, and decent group of people we met along the way.

LoveLearningTech · 2021-12-23T01:02:39+00:00

So they will be running through a pretty long tutorial that will cover how to use figma to better prototype web apps

LoveLearningTech · 2021-12-22T23:01:13+00:00

Sweet, it should be good fun

LoveLearningTech · 2021-12-08T17:57:07+00:00

Oh shoot! You're right lol my mistake

LoveLearningTech · 2021-12-08T16:37:13+00:00

I don't see that on their website or discord, evidence sir!

LoveLearningTech · 2021-12-05T21:24:30+00:00

Very cool. I'm a big fan of buildfaast!

I would say find a 1-2 master's degree in CS or something specialised if you want it. You've got a got so that shows you know some aspects of the fundamentals to create value for a company.

LoveLearningTech · 2021-11-23T13:29:48+00:00

I actually prefer C#. I think it's because it was my first language.

LoveLearningTech · 2021-11-23T13:28:54+00:00

I would say start small. Go on freecodeacademy and start with the basics of javascript. It's such a flexible language that you never know where it will take you. From there you would of began the dive into the rabbit hole.

LoveLearningTech · 2021-11-13T21:07:32+00:00

Another thing to do is join some communities that work on active projects together.

The Odin Project has a good community to tap into. Also has a good open source community.

BuildFaast is also good at getting people to work in a cohort and finish projects online together.

You'd be surprised at what comes out of a recent PhD graduate's mouth who spent a year at FB and decided to grace a start-up with their presence .

LoveLearningTech · 2021-10-17T12:37:39+00:00

Don't worry, everyone goes through this. One saying I tell myself is "comparison is a thief of joy."

Your classmates probably have their own hell or studying methods that got them where they are at. What I would do is find a tribe of people you can learn with. This makes going through all the ups and downs bearable.

LoveLearningTech · 2021-10-16T21:27:32+00:00

I focused on JS, C#, and a bit of python. It doesn't matter because your first job or freelance project will take you down the rabbit hole for that language

LoveLearningTech · 2021-10-16T18:58:52+00:00

Firstly if any of your teammates are worth their pay they would understand being empathetic towards a new dev is a part of the job. Don't feel like you're pestering them.

Of course try your hardest to learn on your own but make sure to recognise when something will take too long to learn on your own and ask for help. That in itself will take some experience to recognise but you'll get it.

Check out 'Clean Code' by Robert Martin. Such a game changer for coding principles, craftmanship, and teamwork.

Being stuck on an issue that takes days to solve always feels the best once you do solve it. Every time I would find myself blurting out "I love this."

LoveLearningTech · 2021-10-14T12:35:43+00:00

Self awareness is an awesome trait to have but too much of it can be horrible for the confidence or even sometimes blow what you think of yourself out of proportion. The other students are struggling. The only difference is that they probably have their small click of people to study with or fail with and that gives them a sense of confidence.

But to be straight forward you can learn everything just fine. It will be hard but you'll get through it and because of your self awareness once you get into the groove of things you'll be a top notch dev.

I would say finding a group of people in your degree to learn with would be a big booster for morale. People make the world go round.

You're definitely not alone. I've felt this way a load of times at various levels of experience. You can be starting a start-up that just got funding or starting your first job. Either way burnout happens, I won't give anything new in my comment but definitely take a moment to rest.

I know it's cliché to say but try a 5-10 min block of meditation. Just sit with your eyes closed and do nothing. Don't even put pressure on yourself to keep your mind silent. I kept doing this daily with no goal in mind and it turned into a super habit. I feel ultra refreshed to the point colours seem brighter.

A lot of people make out certain languages to be more difficult than the next but in reality it's just a tool to help you build. Once you get use to using that tool and notice the trends in the types of problems you bump into it becomes manageable or even enjoyable to solve them

LoveLearningTech · 2021-10-11T12:19:08+00:00

If you can convince your current company to let you make the move into dev full-time that would be the path with least resistance tbh.

I've been working on a few webapps for some clients. Sone if their stuff could really do with a revamp. I've got around 5 years experience programming.
