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. Sometimes, and a lot of people aren't going to like this, it's actually just a skill issue. --------------------------------------------------- 💻 Learn Frontend (20% off): https://scrimba.com/the-frontend-developer-career-path-c0j?via=donthedeveloper ⚙️ Learn Backend (25% off): https://boot.dev/?promo=DONTHEDEVELOPER 🤖 Lear...

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. Just in case devs forgot, I wanted to record this reminding them of that, and ultimately why I left the industry. --------------------------------------------------- 🔥 Webdev Career Help - https://calendly.com/donthedeveloper/coaching 🎮 Join Discord - https://discord.gg/TpQe2k8Ab3 ❤️ Support What I Do - https://www.patreon.com/donthedeveloper Disclaimer: Some prod...

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...

I'm Doubling Down on AI
I’ve been skeptical of AI for a long time - tired of the hype, the slop, and the talk about replacing developers. But as a one-person business, I can’t ignore its potential. In this episode, I break down why I’m doubling down on AI for the next few months: testing its limits, exploring real use cases, and seeing if it actually makes my life easier… or if I’ll end up saying I was right to be skeptical all along. --------------------------------------------------- 🔥 Webdev Career Help - ...

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...
