Developers who start learning the basics of HTML, CSS, JS are learning nearly 90% of what I use every day as a full-stack developer.
Foundation is key to success and revisited every day, so learn them well as they will serve you for decades ahead!
The software engineering industry is huge and it grows rapidly.
Focus only on 1-2 specific area and master them!
You do not need to know every corner of this profession. That's why we work in team!
Trust is a core currency of any relationship. Sometimes our need to control & micromanage everything erodes our confidence in ourselves and others.
People are much more capable than we think. A hearty dose of trust's often what's needed to unlock the magic. Go ahead, hv faith.
Let's try something 😉

For beginners the most important ingredient for learning is to remain confident.
You should expect to:
- fail repeatedly
- make dummy mistakes
- spend many hours on small tasks
- feel overwhelmed
Be patient with the progress. Becoming an expert requires hard work and time!
Dear inspiring developers:
Be conscious that about 70% - 90% of “coding” is actually not writing any line of code. It’s a lot of:
- Planning
- Thinking
- Finding causes of bugs
- Meetings
- Justifying your solution
- Keeping up to date
- Testing
My biggest hope for remote work?
That it leads to the most diverse teams in history
Globally distributed
Comprised of every:
- age
- gender
- nationality
- orientation
A better future than we currently inhabit
The only person worth comparing to, is your past self.
It doesn't matter that somebody learns faster than you.
It doesn't matter how much money somebody is making.
It doesn't matter how many followers they have.
What matters is that you improve yourself a tiny bit each day.
