“When everything is uncertain, everything that is important becomes clear.”

Pro tip from one developer to another, there’s a breathtaking view on the other side of fear, you gotta see it.

And that belief has kept me going towards all the challenges that come in front of me, and it can help you too.

You see, wanting to become a developer isn’t just about learning the necessary skills, trying to become math wizards, or learning to think logically.

Learning how to think like a programmer is also not enough to become a good developer.

Because if you want to become a good one, then start listening to those who have walked the path before you. Listen to their wisdom, and learn from their mistakes, do not reinvent the wheel.

Bad seniors do exist

So how do you deal with it?

One of the best Senior developers had taught me the most important lesson of all, to not be like him, he was the best about making us feel useless.
