1 Big Mistake I Made When I Was First Getting Started As A Developer
As a beginner developer, I made lots of mistakes. However, one mistake that stands out is not experimenting enough.
What do I mean by that?
When I first started working, I would choose a particular stack or language to work with and dive into it. I’d view it as the end-all-be-all for whatever reason I had found. While it’s good to specialize in something, beginners should experiment with several tools.
This will enable you to compare and contrast them as you learn and determine which approaches best suit your needs and which you like best.
Moreover, this approach will increase the number of tools in your tool bag, which will be very helpful when encountering tough-to-solve problems.
While mistakes are never easy to admit, they provide the opportunity to learn.
If you’re just starting, experiment, and embrace your mistakes.
