That's quite a journey! Thank for sharing this. I just followed you on Twitter 👍
Would love to keep in touch.
Sometimes it takes hard work (a lot...) to achieve your goals. But dude - you're a software developer now! If you feel like you don't know enough stuff - the sad truth is that you will always feel that way 🤦♂️.
I still feel that way after over 5 years in the industry (not counting 2 years at school). I know developers who are 10 years+ that still feel the same way.
I wouldn't beat yourself up over that. It's just the way the industry is. You're very fortunate though to be working with very relevant technologies like React, Angular, etc. Some devs are stuck working with really irrelevant technologies and struggle to get out of that hole.
I love what you said, "I want to be relevant and build something cool, useful, meaningful, rather than just being employed"
That's something I think many developers feel at some point in their career. There's nothing stopping anyone from building cool stuff! It's quite a privilege to be able to do that.
Thanks again!
