Be myself and don't let anyone tell me otherwise.

"You were right. Publish it anyway."

Ignorance does not equal stupidity. Don't be afraid to ask questions and express ideas. You will never be an expert in all dev topics and neither will anybody else. There will always be something you don't know.

Ignorance does not equal stupidity. Don't be afraid to ask questions and express ideas. It's not possible to know everything - you will never be a complete expert in all dev topics - and nobody else is either.

1. You are you, don't compare yourself to others.
2. Don't follow the trending, learn the basics.
3. Do projects, even if you don't feel you can complete it (the whole point is that you do it)
4. Ask Questions

[Andreas Sander]

Career

1. Never start job interviews without having an idea about salary negotiation
2. Don't take it too serious.
3. Try to invest into your career outside of your current job (e.g. side projects)
4. Invest time into explaining your parents, friends, partner what you're doing at your job. They should broadly understand it.

Life

1. Don't think twice about opportunities. Take them!
2. Find hobbies different to what you're doing at your job.
3. Invest into friendships, spend and enjoy any moment with your friends. Tomorrow everything can be different.

Just do it because any way you are going to do it!

Get into Toastmasters asap and learn to speak confidently on a range of topics and in multiple formats. Life lessons for sure.

[Rod Fetalvero]

Keep on learning.

There will be a time in the future when you will have a family. That should not stop you from innovating and solving world problems. It might seem overwhelming and sometimes you feel like giving up but don’t. I did not and so should you.
