Very nicely written, but i contest your pick a nice stance. I am a self taught backend developer that dabbles in frontends now and then noting has helped me more then to try out new things and play with them. Tauri, wails.io, rust, go, bun and htmx. Every new thing teaches you parts of the web and made things Click for me. Just my two cents...
Keep writing inlike the style.😉
I share your journey I am a victim of internet info flooding. I read everything and every language hence no one is interested in me. I am using Python a lot but I know some JS. I want to stick with these two. I love Python but I am not sure if I will find a job.
Anyway, building websites is my easy pick for now. Setting up the back end and payment system. I love react node js angular type script bootstrap and nest js. I want to hammer it. No luck for a job.
You got to try .net based development, there are opportunities, especially if you plan ahead and land a job in Middle East, especially now with .net core supporting multiple OS and C# becoming the do all language.
Oh really? Have no idea why .net, thanks I will sure do that.
Great advice! My niche is really Flask web dev and Discourse development in EmberJS.
I've always stayed away from JS frameworks, since they're their own big topic (e.g. React). Ember was my first, and just looking at the docs, I've barely dipped my toes in the water.
I can relate . I have been a victim of skipping from one tech stack to the other in search of a perfect combo. But I have come to learn that there is no match made in heaven. Every stack has its own strength and flaws, and being a great 👍 software developer means understanding the flaws and knowing how to work around them.
In my own experience, reading the source code of my favorite tools prooved to be a great way of learning coding best-practices. It also inspires me to create my own software.
I think you find the thing you love and master it. Then you try to apply it and seek work and discover you lack x, y and z, so you learn them and bring it all together. Then you apply it and seek work and you get a job and after 6 - 12 months you have money in your pocket doing what you love. If you haven't made it by then that's fine, you just keep pursuing. ✊
Nice....I have been struggling all my life with tech and I'm still struggling. The worst case is that if this Tech doesn't work for me, I have no plan B. It seems I'm doomed 😭🤦
Employers are stupid and the promote stupid mamagers. Get some Salesforce certs and you will have job offers galore.
I am like you, brother. Exactly like you. It has been 5 years for me. No major advances.
"dos and don'ts."
And you are only talking about dos?
I also stressed the dont's. Avoid the endless tutorial cycle, avoid trying hands on too many frameworks and languauges.
