Thank you for the post it sure gives a good insight on what is it like to be a dev for the first time.

I would like to point this bit: “The simplest tasks will often take longer than you initially expect.”

So true, even now when I contribute to open source I think ‘oh this is an easy thing to implement’... half a day later I’m still stuck! Haha

Love how you explained how you get better at problem solving. Everyone tells you you should have this skill but not many tell you that for you to get better at it you have to go into the deep end and get stuck so your brain finds different solutions 👍
