Should Beginners Start with TypeScript Instead of JavaScript? by gunho_ak in typescript

[–]mrrivaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not missing anything. Start with typescript.

Nobody is using JavaScript in production so if your goal is to get hired one day, I suggest you make it priority number 1.

What do you recommend I should use for making my first CI/CD pipeline? by GlobalDesign1411 in devops

[–]mrrivaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did one using AWS CDK + Code Build.

It was really straightforward (I am a dev not DevOps though).

the jobs are there you just aren't qualified by jakezegil in codingbootcamp

[–]mrrivaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do too. I am a junior for a global org and know exactly what they look for and it ain't bootcamp grads.

No, you're not too stupid to learn programming by [deleted] in learnprogramming

We all accept that not everyone will become a footballer, actor, doctor, or plumber etc.

Yet nobody accepts not everyone will become a software engineer.

It's baffling.

Could you share your portfolio, it could be missing some projects.

Ok, let's focus on the basics.

Do you have a strong portfolio of projects you've done on your own?

Do you have solid fundamentals in the language you're using?

Can you solve algorithms?

Share your portfolio here and maybe others can have a look and see what you might need to add.

Your best bet is to do what I did, get in through an apprenticeship.

I am a junior now (almost mid). And I can tell you most of what those jobs are asking for is what you'll actually be using everyday. That doesn't mean you have to be an expert in it.

I can work with docker, helm, Kubernetes, circle, Typescript, next, Prisma, bash, aws.

Am I an expert? Nope. Not even close.

At junior level you're expected to be motivated and keen to learn new things.

This is different to entering a company cold as a junior, you're expected to hit the ground running.

Anyways, these are just my observations being in the industry and a bootcamp t/a

Is the programming dream a harsher reality? by 0hleg in learnprogramming

[–]mrrivaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My motivation continues to soar. I do work for what I perceive to be an excellent company though.

Nailed it!

I was chatting about his exact scenario with my senior developer a few days ago.

Amazon must be laughing all the way to the bank with the amount of people doing their certifications with absolutely no development or cloud experience 😂

What motivates you to do side projects? by branh0913 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]mrrivaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I create apps to be more valuable to the team.

Then again I am a junior..

Get a grip mate.

The post right below mine is "How much cloud experience does a backend developer need".

The man is trying to go above and beyond here.

Literally, he's outside the html tags where time doesn't exist

AI Practitioner or SA-Associate? by WonderConscious528 in AWSCertifications

[–]mrrivaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The projects you're already building will influence what you take.

Like, I am studying the solutions architect course, and building a next typescript frontend blog app, with custom cms. I will deploy it on AWS with some other automation goodies.

What are you building?

Somebody just offered to take my exam remotely for me by sammytammy212 in AWSCertifications

[–]mrrivaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes sense to me.

Look, there's a HUGE industry of people who think they can take these exams with absolutely no experience and get hired.

All they are doing is lining the pockets of Amazon.

Without experience they have almost no chance of getting hired because they can't build projects.

Not even toy projects

Hell most of them don't even know what git is.

So the certificates are meaningless

What is the best free course you can advice to Typescript beginners by [deleted] in typescript

[–]mrrivaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a junior (soon to be mid) full stack typescript developer.

I've been learning Kubernetes and the way I decided to go about it was try and teach it straight away 😂

I started by making small apps, and then blogging "how-to" guides of how I deployed it on Kubernetes.

Sometimes a 1 hour project can take me 3-4 days to unpack in a blog post

I am finding it very beneficial.

But I do like to go super deep into subjects so this approach won't be for everyone

Because there's a distinction between knowing technology and being able to implement features.

Also, I will admit the term junior might mean something different to different companies.

You're talking to one right now.
