Awesome. I'm working on upgrading my React skills and learning graphql right now. I think for me the biggest jump from hobby/side projects to professional developer is testing, so that's my overall focus in addition to specific stacks.

Hi Sara, I agree and it is so often left till the later stages of learning or an afterthought completely. I'd recommend learning the fundamentals of test driven development from someone like Robert C Martin (aka uncle Bob). TDD is fast becoming a very desirable skill employers look for in any well rounded developer.
