Welcome to the second part of this series. Like I promised in the first part, I might be making this a weekly post to encourage newbies and other developers. So check out some outstanding tweets I came across last week:
GREATEST LESSON I EVER RECEIVED
from the greatest teacher I ever had.
My teacher was the smartest person I've ever met
In her infinite wisdom do you know what she told me?
"I don't know"
We don't have all the answers
Be humble to know it and hungry to find them!

My mistakes as an upcoming developer:
* didn't learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript basics properly
* I had more Udemy courses than GitHub repositories
* jumped between Java, Python, PHP and JavaScript instead of focusing on 1 language
* didn't ask questions

The way i prepared for coding interviews before i got my job at Facebook is a bit different from what most people suggest. I never forced myself to solve problems without using google. I would google the answer after i was stuck even for 1 minute23:28 PM - 28 May 2020
Njoku Samson Ebere@eberetwitStart from the basics.
I have some articles on algorithms at
dev.to/ebereplenty
Pick one, try it yourself and see what you can come up with then check for how I solved mine. That works for me
Start with the simplest at dev.to/ebereplenty/alโฆ and walk upwards twitter.com/makneta/statusโฆ07:51 AM - 31 May 2020Magdalena @maknetaI want to create web projects but I also don't want to be a person who rolls her eyes & has a blank mind when sb says the word: ALGORITHMS. How can I learn it? I'm not asking you about the courses. I can google them. I'm asking about your process of learning. #100DaysOfCode
One thing beginners need to understand. A coding tutorial doesn't teach you HOW to code, it teaches you how to code what that tutorial wants you to code.
To learn HOW to code, you have to build things.

Why I recommend coding to everyone:
- It's fun and rewarding.
- You can get a great job.
- You can freelance on the side.
- You can build your own product.
Why did you start coding?08:33 AM - 30 May 2020
I don't know who needs to hear this but you'll become a developer.
Keep working, and be patient. Your time comes soon.

Temi Ajiboye@olu_tayormiAs a newbie, one way to burst into tech is letting people know how you make progress. Always showcase what you've learnt no matter how small it is. Use the power of Twitter and LinkedIn. Recruiters are always watching.09:05 AM - 29 May 2020

My advice to new programmer!
1. Understand and not just memorizing.
2. Don't skip the fundamentals
3. Have fun, do stuff that makes you joy.
4. Don't get stuck in "tutorial hell"
#100DaysOfCode07:51 AM - 28 May 2020
Code .๐๏ธ@codedotngTo all newbies, learn one to learn the others.
Pick one language, practice and create projects with it.
With one well learnt you translate to others.

Remember that it takes 1 job offer to overshadow countless interview failures, and to make all the process worth it.
Also, job rejections can sometimes be blessings in disguise.
Interviews don't determine your worth as a developer or as a person, as well.17:25 PM - 28 May 2020
The problem with new developers, including myself, is that we try to learn everything and we try to do it at once.
We need to understand that things take time, and we need patience. Also, we will never be able to learn everything. The good thing is we don't even have to do it.11:09 AM - 28 May 2020

My top mistakes since I started programming:
1. Trying to learn too many things at once (promotes stress and anxiety)
2. Trying to learn everything 100% "before this and that". Just build things with what you know and learn along!
Don't be like me!

Want to get better at programming?
When your code fails, search those errors. Find the solutions.
Facing your errors will teach you MORE than any tutorial. You will learn so much in that search!
Face your errors!

Programmers most used trick: using StackOverflow.18:14 PM - 26 May 2020
For my first job.
~300 Applications.
20 phone interview.
5 interview.
1 scam
1 offer.
Salary was 72000 INR = 1200$.
All these hardship because my degree was not enough to get a job in India's pool of engineers.
Still I made it.
#100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie #freeCodeCamp16:28 PM - 26 May 2020
ONE OF THE TOP SKILLS a programmer MUST have is finding solutions to problems on their own.
You have to be a problem solver.
You have to be able to break the problem down into searchable terms.
You canโt have someone holding your hand forever.
You got this!

๐น๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐@james_willett1Most developers are:
- Shy
- Awkward
- Introverted
Which is a shame... because we can learn a shitload from each other.
Good thing we have Twitter to bring us together ๐ช18:34 PM - 25 May 2020
My fellow juniors, never forget that every senior developer was once in your shoes. Every senior developer was a junior developer.

Put your content out. Don't worry about rude comments. People that leave rude comments are having sad lives, and can't do better than that. They're already below you, and you shouldn't entertain them.
Normal people support each other, and leave constructive feedback.14:39 PM - 26 May 2020
3 advice to new programmers.
1. Stop comparing yourself to others.
2. Accept the reality of your situation everyone's journey is different, take your time.
3. "Just Ship it" Don't obsess over code being perfect, you can improve it later.13:49 PM - 26 May 2020
Stas Klymenko@stasklymenko5 month ago I was nobody in Twitter trying to get some connections and impressions posting my progress in coding.

Code in which language you enjoy the most, AND let others do the same.
Stop with "is X a programming language?" or "you're not a programmer if you code in X language".
We're a community and we shouldn't put others down for coding in a language different than ours.09:57 AM - 26 May 2020
Edidiong Asikpo๐@didicodesMost people think they need to know everything about a particular programming language before they start building a project.
Building projects improve your coding skills in ways you canโt imagine.08:27 AM - 26 May 2020
The reason developers struggle with Imposter Syndrome is because they compare their "behind-the-scenes" with everyone else's "highlight reel."
Believe me. Myself and others all struggle just as much as you do. We're in this together.21:07 PM - 25 May 2020
