Are you struggling with motivation on your learning to code journey? It could be poor goal setting. It could be that trying to find a job is suppressing your curiosity and excitement for coding. It could very well be that software engineering isn't what you initially thought it was. But almost certainly, what I share in this has or is hurting your motivation more than you think. --------------------------------------------------- 💻 Learn Frontend (20% off): https://scrimba.com/the-frontend-d...

Do You Feel Like an Imposter as an Aspiring Developer?

Imposter syndrome as a junior developer has been normalized WAY TO OFTEN. Imposter syndrome is a signal that there's a more deeply rooted issue that needs to be resolved.

The Forgotten Truth About Being a Developer

The reality of being a dev is that you're capable of a future that goes way past the limits a company allows you to work within.

I Tried Agentic Coding and I Hate It

Tried agentic coding while building a Twitch analytics feature for Twitch Sprout and... I hated it. It bloated the code, ignored library features, and turned me into a spec-writing code reviewer instead of a dev. I also shared where AI has helped as well. --------------------------------------------------- 🔥 Webdev Career Help - https://calendly.com/donthedeveloper/coaching 🎮 Join Discord - https://discord.gg/TpQe2k8Ab3 ❤️ Support What I Do - https://www.patreon.com/donthedeveloper Disclaim...

Least vs Most Marketable Projects for Junior Developers

One of the more difficult things junior developers seem to struggle with is knowing what portfolio projects to build to be marketable and competitive in the job search. I went over a variety of types of projects and how much they help you stand out among your competition. Not only that, but I went over the pros and cons of each, misconceptions of what is common but ineffective advice given around these projects, and how to be effective at making the more marketable options even more impressi...
