I would tell my younger self to not play videogames for 12 hours a day. At the very least, do something productive. Create something, fix something, or just go outside. I'd love to say that I should've started grinding Leetcode when I was 14, but I don't think that's realistic 😅
yeah i agree and same , but from 2022 i stop that , for now i just play 2/1 hours in day !!!
I would say don't just work on technical skills, rather put more efforts on developing soft skills and presentations.
Go outside your comfort zone, expand your network, and just know what other people are working on.
Stop investing and commiting yoursefl in the company, because when you'll need it the company won't commit for you.
In place, read and know more about workers rights and work laws, don't work overtime, don't learn and exercise at home because your boss told you but because you really want it, and learn when to ease off.
Don't stay attached to a particular technology or platform because it's what you've always done; don't be afraid to try something new.
If I could only send one message back to my younger self, it would be to add another zero to my life insurance policy before a chronic condition is found.
Don't specialise too early. Depth of knowledge makes you valuable to your employer in the short term; Breadth of knowledge sets you up for jobs in the short and long term.
My message is very simple: Don't buy Play Station(or NS).
Don't stay too long at a stagnated job
Start investing right NOW!
Job security is an illusion
Stop drinking so much and ffs grow up!
Don't waste time on Uni, just take that programming and OS courses and pass that exam.
