Unbelievably, it’s been six months since I started my first professional role in software development. It's been incredible, and while some days I ...

Thanks for sharing your experience =) I
ve been being in probation for 1.5 month already, and I don
t contribute to the project and it makes me feel useless developer in the team. And Im little bit scared that I won
t come through this probation. The project we are working on so tremendous, and I still don`t understand some points.Thanks for reading! I’m glad you got something out of it 😊
I feel like many developers have been in this situation. 1.5 months can feel like a really long time, but it’s a pretty short amount of time to get your head around a huge project. Ask lots of questions and be vocal about whatever small observations you have made. Best of luck with the rest of probation! It sounds like you’re doing fine.
Thank you, I'm trying to do my best :)
I would ask a lot of questions, but everybody is so busy, because it is season for our app. But I found the way, I just read every commit team make and trying to understand why and for what, and figure out that it is no magic out there in the project :) It's really good approach for me. And finally I stopped watching video tuts, now I read the official docs of technologies and I started to understand them :) For example, typescript docs. I wish you luck too!) Keep writing, you are good at it :)
Wow, i stumbled on this article just in time. I've been on my first job role as well for about seven months now. What has really made the journey interesting is not only the job but also the entire tech community (online and offline). Trust its been quite difficult to do side projects though, but I've kept pushing. Thanks for the words of wisdom!😚😚😚
Thanks for reading :) I'm glad you found it relatable. The tech community has definitely been the best part of this for me too. Well done on pushing through and getting to where you are!
I love this! I've been programming professionally for quite awhile now, but that's been my most useful skill as well. Being able to communicate technical concepts to decision makers has especially increased my value to my employers.
Telegram is good place for community.
Local folks turns this chat platform to e-learning tools. People help each other better than in facebook.
Thanks for the recommendation!
I've been working as a junior frontend developer for 2 years now but that feeling to work on side projects never came back.
Oh boy, it happens. Nothing wrong with not working on them, though. Eight hours a day of development is plenty.
A beautiful article. Thanks
Thanks Nancy! I appreciate you taking the time to give it a read.
