This is super open ended, but what are you all currently struggling with? Doesn't have to be code related. We're more than our jobs.
I won't have answers to everything, probably lots of things, but others in the community might be able to help.

Thanks man
struggling to find a project and stick to it
I want to work on more developer tools & platforms.
I currently work at a small fintech startup (first engineer there) but don't enjoy it a lot. Can't switch because I'm still in college & not a lot of folks are open to having someone work full-time w/ college.
I contribute to OSS in the meantime when possible.
I was approached last month for paid OSS maintenance on a CLI app I contribute to but got ghosted later on :(
Most places that I have worked have let me do some work on dev tools, CI and deploy automation, even though it is usually outside of my refffsponsibilities. I would be surprised if the fintech startup didn't welcome your involvement there. Usually the circle ci or GitHub actions config could use some polishing up, deploy automation needs improvement, and people will usually use small cli tools that automate basic tasks like running a build if you make it easy to download and use.
I'll keep your suggestions in mind. Thank you.
Since I handle all the infra tasks, there aren't any users of those tools other than me. I did set up the CI/CD pipeline and various automations at my current workplace. I'll try to make them more general purpose & open source them for others.
Primary reason why I used to contribute to netlify-cli since I know a lot of developers use it. Working on tools that only you use at work is not that satisfying.
I hear you on wanting more users.
I actually like the opposite sometimes. For example, I prefer making company specific automation for creating a preview environment rather than using general purpose tools like render or heroku's deploy previews, because the general purpose tools don't handle all the specifics that I need.
I have done some self digging. On that I have just come to learn that programing community or I should say the characteristics of a programmer resonates with my nature. To say in simple terms it clicks.
But now after getting admitted in CS study I have come across to a new problem an that is how to approach it.
Because there are so many positions as a programmer. I don't know what to choose ?
I'm juggling several projects wearing different hats (and none of them suit well yet). I feel like I need to choose or il burn out and fuck up all of them. But can't decide what to keep :)
Thanks brother 🙏👍
I chose golang as my interview language for backend at startups, and that has stopped me from doing a number of take home problems that only allow for python or javascript.
Overall, I am having problems getting through some work experience screening interviews because I don't have python or node production experience on my resume, just functional languages that some hiring managers have little knowledge of.
Besides that, things are going pretty well.
Focusing on one thing at a time!! Anxious with creating my own credibility….a bit overwhelming atimes.
Iv always been perfection and it kills me. Trying so hard to be aware and take one step at time but not easy
AWS solution Architect certified, trying to build stuff..also get better with Python
Then have all sorts of visions of what I’m hoping to build and just overwhelmed!! Thanks for the is question!
I like to solve backend and security problems.
