Things I wish I knew when I started Programming
-
Dont try to learn everything. Things keep on changing all the time. Choose what you need to learn and focus on getting results. Just start using it and if things are working, you’re fine. If you don’t you may learn tons of random things that you dont need. just get things rolling. You’ll never get things completely right. that’s how tech is. `The field moves fast. The only constant is change, and what you need is the ability to learn quickly.”

all code is garbage. UI may look good but under the hood its garbage. So, just do what gets results. Most people in the field work at a company 2-4 years then move on. So, no one really knows a whole lot. Everyone’s sort of a beginner just winging it. Tech stacks change from year to year. Getting started with a project, just make a prototype and clean things up. There’s always a better way to code something, so don’t let perfection stop you.
-
Focus on the project, not the technology. The tech should be helping you make the project. It’s the project that everyone is looking at. Not the technology. Software is a tool.
-
javascript, for beginners its more useful if they can create something impactful. -
Dont be afraid to learn. People around you may be scared to learn, dont watnt to do it, dont put into the time. It really don’t take too much time. Just learn for 2 weeks then you’ll forever be able to say you know how to use it. More than anything, software is about your willingness to learn.
