mifuyne, 1 year ago to programming in What projects are you working on at the moment?

employers don’t necessarily care how good your code is (as a junior dev)

Maybe this is what I needed to hear to breathe a little easier, that employers won't focus too hard on it. I know if I make it open source, I could get some feedback on the code too. I just hope it's constructive and not unnecessarily harsh!

I have a lot to learn still but that’s okay.

We never stop learning, and I'm glad for that. I think that's partly why I enjoy programming/coding. I always feel like I'm learning something new, even when I'm writing code I've written before. I actually like going to Code Abbey and doing some of the challenges there. Also, the exercism #12in23 challenge felt right up my alley. I love learning new languages, even if they frustrate the hell out of me!

Good luck with your project!

Thank you! 😊

mifuyne, 1 year ago to programming in Which programming languages do you use?

• I think Javascript is the language I've spent the most time with throughout my life. I used it to create internal tools at my last job. I'm using it now on a personal project that I plan on adding to my portfolio.
• Python. I find the syntax tends to be straight to the point. But it's so easy for me to get them mixed up with Javascript. The one that I have to keep going back and looking it up is len(list) vs array.length. Yes...I did have to look it up to make sure I got it right 😞
• I'm actually going through exercism.org #12in23 challenge (12 languages in 2023). Out of the new ones I've tried so far, Rust, Red, and Elixir are the ones I'm interested in going back into. Largely out of curiosity. I also like learning new languages because they can help improve my understanding of more general concepts.
