What Did I Learn from a Product Based Company in 1 Year?

I am a web developer and I have an experience of around 1 year. I joined this company in September 2023. The company I joined had around 10 full-time employees and it is a product-based company. I joined the company as a Vue.js developer for their product. But as soon as I joined the company, I had the responsibility of not only Vue.js but several other technologies.

I could easily have left the job but instead, I decided to stay in the company. Here are the few things that I performed in this company and I have learned.

*- Vue.js
*

This is the main technology for which I was hired by the company

*- Nuxt.js
*

Nuxt.js is a framework for Vue.js that we used for the server-side rendering. This framework generates the HTML files for the Vue.js routes and serves those HTML files to the search engine. Before I joined this company, I had no idea what nuxt.js was about. But I took this challenge as a learning opportunity.

*SEO
*

To run an online product successfully, SEO is the most important and required skill that one can learn. Making a website SEO-friendly for WordPress is simple and easy. At the same time, for a non-technical person, making On-page SEO changes for a Vue.js website is next to impossible. I made these SEO changes and simultaneously, I learned about SEO and its advantages.

*Ubuntu Server with Nginx Proxy
*

Many times in the absence of my boss, I had to GIT push the code from my machine and GIT pull on the Ubuntu server where we used the Nginx reserve proxy. I had no idea about all these things but I learned and now I can deploy absolutely anything on the digital ocean server.

So, these are a few technical skills that I learned in a product-based company. I think it was difficult but a good first year in this company. If you have the urge to learn then I would highly recommend doing a job in product-based company.

I appreciate receiving a post from the future. In what year though you are writing it? I'd like to know when the time machines are finally available.

September 2022, to become a better developer, you MUST have common sense.

It also helps to have a sense of humor - it makes communication more pleasant. A bit of self irony is must have as well to avoid being unnecessary defensive. Wish you good luck in your journey.

The first comment from you is an indication of an unskilled & untalented person who acts funny but in deep down needs a therapy
