“I have been studying/coding diligently for 4 years now, and I am really not that great or talented at it.
It is taking me an extremely long amount of time to pick up anything new. I am lagging I feel.
I am just not that talented at this, being honest.
Are there any real junior jobs anymore?
You’re willing to put in the hours,
but they still ask for 1-3 years of experience
Go!
Now’s your chance!

What’s your origin story?
“I’m burnt out
I don’t have a Dream Job™
Corporations are the last thing I want to think about. What if I’m just broken & there isn’t a place for me in today’s economy?”
What would You-The-Billionaire™ do?
Be honest:
are you a Real Developer™?
“What every beginner absolutely needs to know about the journey ahead”
Serious question:
how do CEOs get jobs?
Recruiters tell everyone to apply
but what are your realistic chances?
Do you ever feel just plain unseen?

Keeping one foot out the door?
Why are you afraid to commit?
Ever hide your insecurity
behind complexity?
Don’t be this person on Twitter:
“I wish someone had told me:
‘there ARE others just like you
…but distributed more evenly around the globe, just not clustered in your city and around you.’ “
This is the only ladder worth climbing:
“Wait, I’m here to become a Coder
Why should I care about Creators?”
What do a certification, bootcamp, & Computer Science degree have in common? They can’t guarantee you a job. Sometimes they’re counter-productive.

“How much coding do you need to know
to get into these interviews
and be offered a job?”
“I keep running into junior roles that require 2-3 years of experience and most of the times a relevant degree, and so far I’ve been ignoring them. Should I try applying to these positions or should I keep looking?”
Go!

“I must have sent over 500 applications by now. Whenever I tap submit, it feels like I’m just sending my resume out into the void.“

“I’m tired of starting over!
How do I build momentum in my career?”
“I am having a really hard time with basic algorithms right now. I don’t think I really understand them. Is this common for some of you? Is that okay? Is there something I should do to help myself? I would appreciate any input. Thank you!”
