Introduction
What's up gals/guys !! Here I am with another post continuing the self-taught developer series.

You've hit the nail on the head - communication is a huge part of being a developer.
It's not only needed to present yourself in a job interview, but in everyday work as well. This is what often makes or breaks a team, or even an entire company.
Technical skills are extremely important, but neglecting the so called "soft skills" like communication, will hurt you in the long run.
Great job on seeing this early on
Thank you 😀
Another Advantage of being a Self Taught Dev is that you can choose to when to complete and start your works.
Another Disadvantage I noticed is that it's hard for you cus there's no community you can rely on
It's not that you don't have community. There are many communities to help each other just like this one but it's just that you can't explain some stuff to those communities.
In short friend sitting next to us and solving the bugs along with us just hits different 😉.
All developer will have their own self-taught, even if they were taught in college and bootcamp.
Yup. I agree any developer has at least one mentor in her/his life and that's really necessary.
Your response to the first post was really great Thanks for that. You can share your opinions on the topic I am eager to hear those
so educative.
thank you for sharing tho
glad you liked it 😊
Fair enough. I guess it makes sense, though I haven't encountered any scenario/problem I could not figure out on my own, maybe not the specific problem, but I've always found a starting point or some tips to get me on the right track. But yeah I kinda agree, mentors or at least real-like experience is key.
I agree with this...
As I am a "self-taught" developer and now have a couple of years experience.
Looking back the hardest part was the very beginning.
Not knowing about packages or how certain tools could help...a lot.
Not knowing how certain frameworks fit together.
I was lucky enough that I had some people around me that would laugh and after that would take the time to explain it to me or at the very least would take the time to look up a link that would help.
This was basically the biggest hurdle for me.
Can't tell you the amount of times I've said that to myself, I'm always thinking I'm missing something important or that I don't know something I should... but in the end you can always google it xD
Yes no doubt you can google it, but sometimes its like how can I ask this question cuz it gets really difficult to figure out the exact question to google.
There's always something you can ask that will get you closer to the solution or answer. It might take a very long time though xD
