Best Piece Of Advice For New Developers
I've been working with a lot of new developers lately, and I keep seeing the same issues reoccur. So here's the advice I would give to myself if I were a new developer or if I were to start afresh right now.
You have to be patient. I see many people who start and expect to be done in one or two weeks. They want to learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript in one month and get a job immediately. But it doesn't work that way.
You have to be patient. A lot of people think they don't have time. You see people at 20 years old who think they don't have time. At 25 or 30, they're like; it's over for me.
Even many teenagers are already in a hurry, putting so much pressure on themselves, thinking there's no time. They feel they have to get everything done "right now". These people make calculations like "I want to become a graduate, get a job so that at 23 I'm set for life."
It doesn't work that way. And it's the same thing with the software development world. You have to be patient. Don't compare yourself with people who have been doing this for 5, 10, or 20 years.
