My journey has been a radical transformation from someone who knew absolutely nothing about this area to someone with a solid foundation, and I'm e...

Nice work, You sound like you're developing quite a broad set of skills which isn't a bad thing!
If you do decide to looking for jobs, I'd recommend you pick a single discipline that you really enjoy out of everything you've done so far and double down on that focus. This will help set you apart and you also won't be shooting in the dark for opportunities.
Looks like you are on the right path!! 🎉🎉
Although most of us survive on the web, I think important also for you to explore programming independently of the language in this beginning. Give your self some play time as well to write for example a simple command line program in JS that uses simple concepts; then try for example do it in python, or another language you may have interesting into. Using Linux mean you you also have pretty much any language at your disposal to try out, even dotnet and Swift.
Play around and be flexible, Focus on web to land a job in the industry, and later on you can change to whatever you want. The important thing is to always be learning 😁
Really nice progress! It’s awesome to see such inspiring stories
Hope to see more progress from you
Pretty solid article and effort. Always great to hear the journeys of new devs and how they decided to enter the industry. Even 25+ years into it, I'm still constantly learning new stuff which is why I love this industry.
While the web is ubiquitous and probably the easiest entry point for a new dev, I'd highly recommend trying to decouple your skills from it by experimenting with a few other domains once you've got your bearings. Even if it's just mobile or desktop development it's absolutely worth it.
Great progress, yet most of things will need you to be very good at 1 set of skills, we would advice you to go full stack, yet pick 1 thing to master on backend and 1 thing on frontend, either for good job opportunity or to build your own at bytebricks.ai we use Javascript (Node.js & Vue Js) and PHP (Laravel) primarly, that gets covered even by 1 developer with no problem
There will always be people that will try to put you down hiding behind a "criticism mask". Truth is, only you know the effort you've been putting into learning and becoming each time more proficient on this. This was such a pleasant read, and I hope you keep sharing your progress with the community.
awesome progress so far!
enjoy the process because the learning never stops in this field lol
Speak her!! (Fala delaa)
loved to see your progress! thank you for sharing it with us! <3
Nice article Cami, congratulations on your dedication and progress ✨✨
Really great article. I loved the progress you made. Welcome!!!
Congrats for the new journey! It's really interesting to read about what you have learn and I hope you will continue to share!
I don't usually write harsh comments but from the first paragraph this article is a joke.
"Someone with solid foundation", "What I have mastered so far", Javascript being in the "basics"...
I am sorry but this is a clear case of Dunnen-Kruger effect. You don't know how much you don't know.
How can you have SOLID foundation or mastered anything in a month?
I myself have always been considered talented by peers and have been doing web development for 20+ years, and yet I keep studying everyday.
At work we are very selective. Only ~10% of junior candidates (4-5 years of working experience) we interview pass our coding technical interviews.
Still, everyday at work seniors spend half the day coaching them and fixing their mistakes, that sometimes cause troubles to the codebase scalability and maintainability or to the business itself.
Software engineers are not an esoteric elite or anything, anyone can get be at least mediocre with years of experience. I am myself self-taught, but some humility should apply.
Never read anything this pretentious.
Just let the girl write her stuff, dude. We know she's a beginner and she's just trying to put into words what she's learned in this first month. WE KNOW she's not a master at anything.
geez
Internet, this public square where everybody can say anything out loud... and it seems like I can't even complain or give a wake up call.
You must be a miserable human being for wasting your time writing such a comment. Either that or you have no idea of what figurative language or what a hyperbole is.
Programming is soo 2022
All you have to learn are concepts, and ChatGPT will do the work
ChatGPT makes far too many mistakes to be a replacement for a professional developer. A tool most certainly. What to watch out for is what is coming 5-10 years from now.
She is a junior in my team, already does 50% ofmy work
Thanks a lot for sharing it here with us.
Well, one thing that I will also prefer that is understanding of logics and keeping focus on basics and fundamentals of programming that help in learning any programming languages.
I prefer and follow this concept.
Thanks
Respect. You really mean it. One can read that between the lines. All the best. You will make it. Def.
I would not recommend meteor.js though. It is printed on your profile, almost no one uses it. Learn react/next.js or if you want it easier vue/nuxt.js.
Busy month, much? 😆
