You will lose a year or two of your life
Only to gain more.
One of the mistakes that you can make is to think that you’ve got plenty of time, you don’t.
So stop telling yourself tomorrow when you can do it today, stop making a chunk of excuses, and a never-ending list of procrastination just to convince yourself of why you’d rather choose to play games, watch movies, get drunk, or just spend the whole weekend on your phone.
Hard work beats talent all the time, no matter how smart you are, if you will keep wasting your time, those people who never fail to show up no matter how uninspired they are will always beat you.
We tend to procrastinate a lot, why do it tomorrow when you can do it today?
Do you want to succeed as a Self-taught developer? then get your as* of into the computer, finish that Bootcamp, finish that tutorial, and build that portfolio. Or if you are already a Junior developer who has been working for a year or two, getting the job is only just the beginning, the learning never ends.
But here’s the thing, once you are able to master and fully understand one or a couple of programming languages, it wouldn’t be that hard to learn the others. There’s this thing called the universal language, and you can only understand this once you’ve gained enough experience and knowledge on a couple of programming languages, you will understand the pattern, so just keep learning, because the best way to master programming is to keep programming.
After a year of hard work, you realized it’s actually just the beginning
That moment you start your first developer job is actually just the beginning.
All those sleepless nights learning, coding, solving problems just to understand and learn these fundamentals of Web development, after a series of interviews, rejections, you finally got that first developer job, and you thought finally everything starts to pay off.
The hard truth is, it is only the beginning.
Real-world includes real problems, problems that you never thought existed. You are no longer playing on a junior league, this will be the beginning of you playing with the giants, playing in major leagues can be overwhelming, just be brave enough and take on the challenges, work harder than ever.
