Learning additional programming languages is easier than you may think

The tech industry rewards people who are passionate and curious!

Junior developers get discouraged too easily

Don't expect to "learn" programming through consuming knowledge. Create bugs with what you learn!

The main reason most aspiring frontend developers don't land jobs is a weak foundation

New developers should NOT be learning React with Next. Use Vite!

Junior developers need to stop jumping into abstractions too early. Build a solid foundation first!

If you aiming for your first frontend job, wtf are you doing learning tailwind?

JUST working with JavaScript/React for the last 7 years has made me a bad developer

Cookie cutter "fullstack" junior developers aren't hirable. Pick one - Frontend or Backend.

A lot of aspiring developers are going to get weeded out. They already are...

If you are just aiming for bare minimum effort, you don't belong in tech.

If you're not ready to spend YEARS becoming a software engineer, it might not be for you

Self taught devs should really consider getting a solid foundation first

If you're trying to make software engineering a long term career, why not aim to be in the top 10%?

The world doesn't need another generic developer course

The only difference between you and a top tier developer is the time they put into it

As an aspiring dev, be cautious with hyper motivation. It's a trap.

Don't wait until you get fired as a developer

Stuck in a dead end developer job? A side project might be the answer.

How do you make your developer portfolio interesting?
