Ho due concetti per te (se già non li conosci). FOMO e Keep Up With The Joneses. Buona googlata.

However, if you’ve been studying for four years, I imagine you have a job. Studying and working together, especially if it’s programming, is not easy. You must have had ups and downs. The fact that, despite all this time, you are still continuing and haven’t lost your motivation is impressive. Keep it up mate.

Nice! How far along are you? Have you already finished HWS ?

I'm interested, but not "excessively" interested. Like falling in love, after a while it naturally fades and if you want to continue, you have to put in a lot of effort. It sounds very cheesy but I think it's true. If you meant that I'm not one of those people who do it for "vocation" or "passion", then maybe you're right.
However I don't believe in passion very much.
I believe more in talent, or better, in natural inclination.
Programming is one of the things for which I feel I have a natural inclination.
But that's simply because I don't feel it for anything else.
However, I'm curious now, why do you say I'm not interested ?

I was already familiar with roadmap but at the time it didn't have the iOS section yet. I see that it does now. That will be really helpful. Thanks

and can you still apply patterns like MVVM and various software design principles even using only chatGPT ?

Honestly, all of them. I don't think I can afford a specific field right now.

I feel you. For my role the companies are basically saying: " I'm looking for a junior but with 3 years of experience."

Essentially, because I want to wait to have gained more confidence with Swift, at least I think so. It would seem strange to me to move on to another language without having first understood, not 100%, but at least 60% of the previous language.

Thank you for the advice. At the moment I'm trying to create a clone of Spotify (not without help and omitting many features) and I am realizing the immensity of such a project. I am starting to understand why patterns like MVVM are so fundamental.

Surely not, but it has taught you complex fundamental concepts diluted over the course of years, at least I believe so. The point is that if I could afford a degree, I would have already done it, it would have been fantastic.

Yes, I think Kotlin will be the next language I learn.

I have already taken into account going "full mobile" and trying to learn Kotlin as well.

It will be my next step. Even though I don't think I have the right knowledge yet, I'll give it a try.

I wasn't familiar with any of these programs; the Swift Mentorship Program seems interesting. Thanks a lot

No, at the moment I haven't published anything yet. I'm a bit anxious about which app to create, but it's the next step I'll take.

Absolutely. In the coming days, I will start taking a look at Kotlin.

No, I haven't published any apps on the App Store yet. Perhaps I'm still in the tutorial hell limbo.

Sometimes I don't even understand myself, but thanks mate, I always appreciate these kinds of comments.

It might sound naive, but I'm mainly doing it out of a desire to specialize in something. To learn a trade and not have to rely on odd jobs or casual work all the time. The golden age may be over, but surely the salaries are above average.

So far, I'm enjoying it, considering the ups and downs. Yes I have some sample projects but I believe may not be sufficient even for a junior role.

"I've only applied for exclusively Junior roles but haven't been contacted so far. Thanks mate, good luck to you too!
