Over a year in as a junior dev and I’m still in the second stage. I did 6 months backend and now I’m now entering my 6th month as frontend. I still know so little, but I know more than I did yesterday.
My biggest challenges:
- I don’t know what questions to ask when it’s about something I don’t know.
- Having a rough idea as to how I want to try and solve a problem, but not knowing how to code it
- Trying to retain so much new information on a daily basis and then remember everything from the days before
- (What I hope is) Imposter Syndrome on a weekly basis
I just keep on trying, try to understand what I can and ask for help when I feel I’m at a blocker.
Thanks for this, almost every day can be a challenge but that’s what I signed up for when I switched to software development! I’ll keep what you’ve said in mind and try to put it to practice 🙂
