You stated very good points. To me the most important one, at least my interpretation of it, is the next: You may not (and need not) know all the tools that are listed in the job description or the business requirements that are listed in the ticket you are working on, but you are already making a huge difference and progress when you are happy to stop and explore the tools, ask the right questions and adapt your knowledge to the practical needs. Thank you for all of your effort to reach out to fellow devs like me and share your experience about ways to become a better (hopefully pro) coder. BTW, dividing the content into categories was a great idea, it's much easier to grasp the main topic. It would also be very helpful if the actual video was also divided into sections (I think you can do it on youtube).
I'm 34 accountant with 2 internships as Java Developer, but still waiting for my first programming job. Hard to find junior adverts in my country. Hoping this crisis will end soon. I have invoice generating web app online, and I'm now building accounting software
I hope the opportunity opens up for you. I know it may be tough right now to even get an interview. Did you look at ua-cam.com/video/YdvPRVLvfEU/v-deo.html to at improve your performance during an interview?
@@ProCoderIO Thank you for the video link. I will definitely watch it after work. The problem is there aren't many open junior positions in my country (Serbia). But there are many where 5+ years of experience is required. So I assume the market is going to be balanced again at some point. The company where I was an intern applied hire freeze when I was half way through internship. So I got another internship, but without an option to get a job at the end. And I started working as an accountant again at the same time, so it was really intensive during last 4 month.

That’s a great additional point!
