Learning and facing challenges as a webdev

Some of you know I’ve been creating content for developers in YT 📹 .

I believe my latest one provides great tips for all of us, especially junior and mid level devs.

More precisely:
I had a wonderful opportunity to talk with some established Youtubers, who create development-related content (Web Dev Simplified, Program With Erik, James Q Quick).

We discuss topics like:

  • how they got into web development
  • how do they face challenges
  • how to stop comparing yourself to others
  • how to make learning fun

An entertaining and educational listening to both beginner and more experienced devs.
