For newbie Web devs applying for jobs: When asked to show projects you built with HTML & CSS,.. ...present the ones you built from scratch not the ones you built with templates.

I get asked this always and I'll ask it here for the sake of newbie developers : How long did it take you from learning Programming to landing your first coding job?

.reduce() is one of those things in JavaScript I always have to look up again before using it.

Why do many non-JavaScript developers hate JavaScript so much 🤔?

A well written Function in your code should: 🔸Preferably be named with a verb e.g getUsers() not users(). 🔸Achieve the smallest possible result. 🔸Preferably return a value instead of being void. 🔸Be predictable and readable by other developers.

TypeScript is JavaScript in superhero costume 😎.

What's your preferred method for learning new concepts in Programming? Videos vs Documentation?

- Always apply with projects you've built. - Be open to working on stuff outside your stack. - Care more about how much experience they've got to offer you than the salary offer. - You're going to get rejected alot, it's normal. - Be patient: The first job is the hardest to get.

If you're trying to learn Web development & are overwhelmed by all the threads & resources out there, go back to w3schools.com It's simple to use & has almost everything you need to get started on your developer journey.

So because we said comments in code are good, you want to put comments on all the functions? 😏

Failing an Algorithm interview test doesn't make you a bad developer. It's mostly about interview focused preparation & you just probably didn't put in enough time prepping as the dev who set the test.

The fastest way to solve a bug in your code: Close your laptop and walk away😌.

Tech-tweeting can sometimes be an advantage when applying for developer jobs. Just like Open source, it could signal to some employers that: - You're confident enough to put your knowledge out there - You're willing to learn & be corrected - You have good communication skills.

Picking the most challenging tasks on the board..that’s how you become a better developer.
