- As we learn web development, we come across many obstacles. Sometimes we feel like it's becoming too much for us, we get very overwhelmed and quit. Many developers battle with the impostor syndrome. We need to remember that there also is the opposite, the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

#overwhelmed #webdev #developer - Наука та технологія
This is the time when I needed a video like this the most. I started coding about 2 years ago (now I'm starting my 4th semester of college) and I feel like I have to learn so much to become a Junior Software Developer. The amount of information you need to know is really overwhelming. Anyway, do not give up guys, as Filip said - if you accept that you have to constantly learn something new, it's already a great success.
If you don’t mind me asking, what area was the hardest for you?
@@JakeLuden Well, in my opinion, it is not about what is the most difficult, but about the amount of information to be assimilated when it comes to software development. I think it's okay to choose one path (frontend, UI and UX Design, backend etc.) and just focus on it. And in college, the hardest for me was mathematics and algorithmics.
What a coincidence to see this when i'm struggling the most. Might this comment section with strangers allow me to unburden while i hear sad music?
I graduated summer last year and as soon as I finished my internship i was offered a job. From august 2021 to this point i've been in several angular projects. I felt proud of my first project because I felt that it was turning out amazing. Now If I check that code I will most likely start puking. Mid november my boss introduced me to a project for an international company that was looking for a senior developer. My company was interested on it, they pumped up my cv and I was interviewed for that project as a 3 year experienced developer.
To my surprise, among other applicants I was chosen and i'm currently working on that project as the main frontend developer. My family was so proud of me, but i couldn't get to feel proud of myself. I can definitely say that I'm learning a lot at a high speed. Not just angular itself but a whole new world of testing and optimization. Sadly there's an enormous pressure on my shoulders of people that expect good things from me. Overwhelmed by this situation and to be constantly demanding myself, I developed some really unhealthy habits to cope with the stress. If I'd continue without changing anything, these habitss would probably end up killing me.
That's why, even if i didn't manage to fix it yet, I'm starting to do it by going to a therapist. Thank you to whoever read this so far and, if you are finding yourself in the same situation, please, don't doubt on investing in your mental health.
Thanks filip for the video
@Victor Mutuku Thank you :)
I have to sit right in that sweet spot of, "If Ive made it this far and I've figured all this out by myself with Google and UA-cam then surely I can figure anything out and keep going". That ruse keeps me moving forward until days like today where I spend 6 hours trying to connect to a MySQL database because but couldn't get the fresh install I needed because of an uninstall bug on Microsofts side.
Great vid man! For me the biggest issue is wanting to make something awesome and starting it. Only to realize it’s gonna take months to learn to even get close to beginning. I’m under pressure to make a project for my resume but I keep l keep losing motivation because just as I think I can do it I realize I can’t. But you know what nothing good comes from me complaining or from me getting bogged down. I realize that what I need is a schedule and a plan. Something to give me a clear direction with deadlines. Thanks Filip for showing me that I’m not the only one and that I CAN do something about this.
Really needed this today. Thanks mate
Thank you so much Filip!
thanks so much for the encouragement! In the last months I've been questioning my path as a dev and really doubting myself. I feel stuck in my job. But now I realise that it could be because I never get feedback at my job so I don't know how to improve.
Hi Filip, Good to see you with these " GOLDEN TIPS "
You really motivated me bro keep posting👍👍
Can u tell Story about final year project 😂
Thank You !
Is there something with mix of Dunning-Kruger Effect and Imposter Syndrome??
Like sometimes when we over-evaluate ourselves that I am good at something but internally we know Nah, I am just bluffing and also try to do coverup.
Thank you @Filip
Encouraging and grounding...
Learning code is a marathon, drink Gatorade!
I kept giving up and restart again 🤦
I love this! Quick question:
I don’t have any friends or know anyone that’s a web developer. What’s the best way to meet people and get good honest feedback?
Maybe these social medias can help you meet people who also got interests in web dev and share some ideas of your levels.
Really needed this video. I’m done with HTML, CSS and fairly good at JavaScript with a few projects. I go to apply for internships and see everybody wants React. And then it hits me that I’m incapable smh.
Still apply and learn react on the job
yknow, im a kid but i know how to code, like a lot (obsessed) and i try to learn more and more but i do not find time because of school ;-;
1hr a day and u can progress slowly I do the same😀
Chill guys
@@stackingflow WDYM we aren’t fighting or anything
@@stackingflow no u
The way you speak like a poet🙂🙂
💻💻🙏🏼❤
did anyone noticed that he notated both the tips as #1 😄
First
Whaddya mean there's no reason to give up? If I don't want to do this anymore, then I'm gonna quit.
THAT'S the reason. I won't be shamed for doing so.
