I'm currently working with a team of a few seniors and the rest mid-levels. I've helped get a few juniors hired but they've buckled under the pressure after 6 months.
They studied development at school and did great with their classwork but perhaps they thought they knew a lot and ended up realizing that they barely scratched the surface.
Though not required to learn deeper aspects of development, having a team, partner or mentor goes a heck of a long way. It's like learning the piano. You can hit all the right notes but it doesn't mean you have musicality.
When I went on the first few dates with my now-wife, I did not flirt with her as in try to tease her or do anything overtly sexual.
I honestly think I won her over because how enthusiastic I was about telling stories. She said I was so charming because of how passionate and animated I was while telling her about myself that she could see how confident and content I was.
Prior to meeting her at 35, I had never had a girlfriend and had only ever gone on 2 dates.
I agree that it's impossible not to affect others. Every action has a reaction which I hope sparks something positive from my end at least.
To give some perspective, I received my kidney transplant at 37 shortly after starting dialysis at 36 due to something out of my control. My wife almost passed from stage 3 breast cancer in 2017. I admit I'm biased and don't want to see others suffer from preventable diseases but do understand that everything has an inherent risk, including vaccines (present though smaller), and it's up to the player to play their hand as they see fit.
A genuine question: What about people who don't get vaccinated and can potentially spread their diseases? Does that not affect others just like choosing the risk of getting vaccinated?
When I first started out, I was working on things I found fun like a damage calculator for a game I was playing or a simple habit tracker that just incremented a number for a particular chore or task.
Eventually things got more and more complex until I did enough to impress the first company that hired me.
From what you wrote, it sounds like you're off to a great start already. Just keep at it!
Spotify on Tuesday said it anticipates reaching profitability for the full year in 2024, which would mark the company's first full profitable year since it launched 18 years ago.
