    Wonderful insight & inspiration. Thank you a lot! I have finished my three term Master in Web Engineering last year while working 80% as a security agent in a jail. The last three years were very intense and the fact that my then girlfriend who I loved so much left me didn’t really help in that situation. But I didn’t give up, looked for a codeing mentor online and found a senior frontend developer who gives me coachings once per week or when I can’t solve a problem which is a true blessing. I am learning React and advanced CSS right now while keeping sendind job applications to enterprises here in Switzerland. I believe in myself to find my first job as a frontend developer and I get up each day at 4 AM to meditate and work out before work. I am 48. May God bless you all 🙏🏼❤️

    Do you use any css frameworks? I see a lot of jobs wanting css frameworks like sass or bootstrap.
    I also see react being wanted a lot and WordPress

    • @theminimaljess
      @theminimaljess  Рік тому +1

      I used Bootstrap in the project that got me hired at my previous job and SASS a few times on the job. I do think it's great to learn them eventually but if you are just starting your journey, I recommend focusing on vanilla CSS , JavaScript, etc. In the end, everything depends on the job and what they require but showing that you know CSS just as it is without frameworks shows that you can pick up on frameworks if you need to for a job. I wouldn't let the fact that the job description lists frameworks deter you from applying if you know CSS and not the framework because sometimes they don't even end up having you use certain technologies it's just a "nice to have" thing. (my experience). Hope this helps!

      Nah, AI sucks in doing anything specific. The current LLM gives you answers for high approximation of what you would expect. It has no way to judge or verify if that information is good or not so it gives you wrong answers frequently. You can tell ChatGPT to write css and it most likely is going to look like ass.

    I’m currently a welder. But I really enjoy learning about coding. I have my eyes on web development. Took a FullStack bootcamp but was too early for me and with the limited time I have cuz of work, I wasn’t able to study after classes so the bootcamp really kicked my ass. Was too fast paced for me. As of rn it’s just a hobby but eventually I would like to get a job as a front end developer, possibly. The only languages ik atm are HTML, CSS, Python, and some JavaScript. I can definitely create static websites. But now I’m tryna learn JavaScript as well to add more to the websites. Beyond HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, idk anything lol I hear frameworks being mentioned but don’t really know what they are
