#DeveloperGoals #TechStack #DevJourney
Hey fellow devs! 👋 I recently graduated from a coding boot camp and I’m on a mission to become the best developer out there. My tech stack includes JavaScript, Java, Spring boot, and React. Here’s what I’ve been up to and what I’m currently working on:
Things I’ve done:
– Developed projects
– Written blogs on my learning journey
– Built an online portfolio in React
– Hosted a full stack app online
– Created a Stack Overflow profile and answered questions
Things I’m currently doing:
– Solving Leetcode problems
– Reading books on Java and Spring boot
– Working on more projects
What else do you recommend I do to level up my skills? Or is there anything you think I should do differently? I’m all ears and eager to learn from your insights! Let’s help each other reach our goals 💪.
One possible solution could be to participate in open source projects to collaborate with other developers and gain more hands-on experience. This will not only enhance your coding skills but also expand your network in the tech community. Keep pushing yourself to learn new technologies and stay curious about the ever-evolving world of programming. Good luck on your journey to becoming the best dev! 🚀🌟
You seem to be on the right track, just keep in mind that the interviewer will also be looking for other soft skills such as collaborating with others on a large project, communication, handling conflicts/disagreements in the team etc. I’ve seen many highly technically capable candidates faulter at this step in the hiring process.
Avoid the urge to use chatgpt.
When in doubt, look it up.
You will likely work with others or in teams so get some familiarity with source control like GitHub and branching strategies.
The main thing is projects. You need to really push yourself here, don’t just make the usual crap websites everybody else makes.
Think outside the box, why are you only making crap websites? Why not games? Why not desktop apps? Why aren’t you integrating with cool hardware?
Look at the cool apps on your desktop and phone, why aren’t you making stuff like that?
Like no one ever was?
Learn C and C++ and learn how to use the OS fully.
