Great post! Fresh eyes and perspectives should be appreciated, not shut down by senior devs. The trend I see with junior devs is not speaking up out of fear of sounding dumb. But a simple "why" question is such a powerful thing.

The tech field is constantly changing, and you won't last long without a healthy curiosity of new technologies. One of my blog entries talks about my strategy for attempting to keep an eye on current trends. See tip 4:

Keep writing! Really enjoy your posts! 😊

Exactly! I know that was me, I didn't want to be painted for a fraud, but instead did myself no favors because I really didn't understand why I was building things a certain way.

And thank you!!
