🌱 Embracing the Developer's Journey 🚀 Today was a day of growth and insight in my journey as a software dev student. It's a path of continuous learning, where each challenge is an opportunity to deepen my understanding and skills. 🛠️ While working on a complex project involving Python, Django, Docker, and Insomnia, I encountered various obstacles. But what these moments taught me was invaluable – the importance of persistence, collaboration, and embracing the learning process. 🖥️ In software development, it's okay not to have all the answers. What matters is the willingness to try, to ask for help when needed, and to learn from each experience. Today, I delved into the intricacies of my tools, troubleshooting errors and understanding their nuances. It was a reminder that mastery comes with time and practice. ⏳ Collaborating with my team, I saw how our combined efforts lead to something remarkable. We're not just writing code; we're crafting solutions, learning from each other, and growing together. 💡 To my fellow budding developers: it's okay to be on a learning curve. We grind now, so we can shine later. The journey is as rewarding as the destination. Keep pushing, keep growing. 🌟 #SoftwareDevelopment #LearningJourney #Teamwork #GrowthMindset #TechLife

Looking back at my last two years as a Software Developer, I've picked up some really useful things that I think could help my fellow developers. 🌐 Here's a simple breakdown: 1️⃣ 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲: Being good at talking isn't just about explaining stuff. It's also about sharing how you're doing and what's getting in your way. This helps everyone work together better. 2️⃣ 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤: When someone gives you advice, take it seriously. It's like a roadmap showing you how to get better at your job. 📈 3️⃣ 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐄𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫'𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐞: Don't ignore those code reviews. They're like having a buddy look over your work to catch mistakes and make sure it's easy to understand. 👩💻👨💻 4️⃣ 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐞: Before you start typing away, understand what you're supposed to do. Think about how your work fits in with what's already there. Is it going to work well with the rest of the code? 5️⃣ 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: It's important to not just work all the time. Make sure you have time for yourself too. It helps you do better at your job in the long run. 🌱 6️⃣ 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧: Keep a little notebook. It's like a cheat sheet for when you need to show off what you've learned. 7️⃣ 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐠𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐞: Write down what your code is doing. It's like leaving breadcrumbs that help you find your way if something goes wrong. 🚀 8️⃣ 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: The tech world is always changing. Try to keep learning new things so you stay good at your job. 🔄 Here's to more learning and success in our coding adventures! 🚀👨💻🌐🔗 Cheers, PARITOSH DADHICH

🚀 From Boot Camp to Software Engineer: My Journey in Code 🎓 As I near the end of my coding boot camp journey, I'm filled with gratitude for the incredible experiences and growth I've encountered along the way. Transitioning into the world of software engineering has been a challenging yet immensely rewarding journey. Throughout the boot camp, I've immersed myself in the world of coding, learning languages like Python, JavaScript, and PostgresSQL, and diving into frameworks like Express and Django. From tackling algorithms to building full-stack applications, each day has brought new challenges and opportunities for learning. But beyond the technical skills, this journey has taught me invaluable lessons in resilience, collaboration, and problem-solving. From late-night debugging sessions to pair programming exercises, I've embraced the collaborative spirit of the tech community and forged lifelong connections with my peers. As I prepare to graduate, I'm excited to embark on the next chapter of my career as a software engineer. Armed with newfound knowledge and a passion for coding, I'm eager to contribute to innovative projects and make a meaningful impact in the tech industry. To my fellow boot camp graduates and aspiring software engineers, remember that the journey is just beginning. Embrace every challenge, celebrate every success, and never stop learning. Together, we're shaping the future of technology, one line of code at a time. 💻✨ #CodingBootCamp #SoftwareEngineering #TechJourney

Ever heard ‘Practice makes perfect’? It’s true for coding too! 🔑💻 Instead of just memorizing answers, focus on learning how to solve problems. That’s what you’ll do every day as a software developer. 🛠️🤓 Improve your problem-solving skills with these steps: 1. Solve one coding problem daily. 📆✔️ 2. Break big problems into smaller pieces. 🧩 3. Learn from others’ solutions after you try. 👀📖 Making this a habit will turn tricky challenges into something you can tackle confidently. 💪🚀 #CodingDaily #ProblemSolving #SoftwareDevelopment #KeepLearning

A few of the ways my bootcamp is preparing me for the real world of software development 👩💻 : 1. Base code - When I was self-teaching, I was building everything from scratch (which I used to think was better), but at Tech Elevator, a lot of the time we get partially finished code to work with. In the real world you are rarely going to start from scratch. Learning how to read and debug other peoples' code (yes we've gotten base code with bugs before) is a skill that can be harder to come by. 2. Unit testing - In the real world, you'll often be working with massive code bases, and if those code bases don't have unit tests, you are preparing yourself for oh so many tears. We have learned to read and write unit tests, something I personally don't know if I would have done otherwise. 3. Pair programming - One of the main reasons I wanted to join a bootcamp was that I wanted to find a community of other learners to work with. In my bootcamp we do a lot of programming with others. Pair programming allows you to be both the student and teacher of your peers. I have grown so much as a programmer because of pair programming. And shout out to Kimberly Thilavanh for having absolute eagle eyes for spotting all my typos 🤣 . Obviously there are so many more ways #TechElevator is preparing me to join the workforce as a developer, but these are some that have really stood out to me. Of course you can absolutely get these on your own. I know that being able to do a bootcamp is such a privilege, and there are other ways to get this knowledge and practice as well! I think no matter how you're learning these are valuable skills to focus on! One thing I really want to do is fine an online course to delve even deeper into unit tests.

Learning to code has less to do with memorizing the code and more to do with picking up on the logic, figuring out how to solve problems, and thinking like a computer. Once you have a strong foundation for that, you can pickup any new coding skills pretty easily. Starting out as a new developer, you're caught in this feeling of wanting to learn everything NOW, and never being good enough, or not knowing enough. But, you have to learn things in a logical sequence sometimes for them to make sense, and as the old saying goes, you can't run before you learn to walk. That feeling of not knowing enough, will never go away, in fact it's impossible to know everything. Even senior developers I talk to, always have to refresh themselves on subjects or forget some syntax that they don't normally use. The solution is easy, you just look it up. Once you're over this part, just focus on: 1: Building a roadmap, one of my mentors sent me to this resource which is super useful for self learners: https://roadmap.sh 2: Follow the roadmap. Try to learn things sequentially step by step that connect together. For instance, don't learn ReactJs before learning vanilla JavaScript, don't learn either of them before you know html and css, Etc... 3: Pick up a lower level language and learn it for fun. This will also strengthen your logic building, as well as help you understand what's happening under the hood that you normally can't see using a higher level language. 4: Practice what you're learning with passion projects. This might be the most crucial part! Build something that peaks your interest, like a personal website, or a program that solves a problem you encounter regularly. This keeps you engaged, and only speeds up the learning process. Some of the best things I've done along my journey is to have multiple sources of learning (we all have different learning styles and there's no one size fits all), get better at reading official documentation, have little coffee chats, meet mentors, get advice, ask questions. The journey starts to prove more and more fruitful as you keep at it, you just have to have the perseverance to push forward and never give up! #learntocode #newdeveloper #softwaredevelopment #softwareengineering #roadmaptosuccess #roadtowebdevelopment #techadvice
