What will you do better, if you are to start all over again?
Find a mentor
Look for a place to work with or without payment.
These are two of the most important things that will skyrocket your career.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a fast learner. Direction and Practicals are the best way to learn faster.
Any tip or hack for junior and aspiring web developers?
Find a mentor and find a place to work and learn.
Backend Engineering is beyond the YouTube video or book you’re reading.
You need real-world practicals and directions. It’s like learning to trade from your master in his shop. Dealing with customers and making mistakes in real-time.
