"How do I learn a new framework/library?" Build. "How do I get mastery as a dev?" Build. "What if I make this project and it sucks?" Fail forward. Fail often. Fail fast. A senior developer is just a standard developer who's found a ton of ways to fail and knows what to avoid. "What do I do to not be stuck in tutorial purgatory?" Shut that shit down and build. After you watch 1 tutorial from Maximilian Schwarzmüller, you're ready to just go build shit. #dev #developer #mentor #mentorship Hey just as a little blurp for those of you between "Idk how to become a dev" and under 3 years experience wanting to know "Hey how do I become a better dev or get better jobs", I have a mentorship group on discord now. Free. No spamming for content or courses to sell you. No harassment. Join us tomorrow, Saturday the 11th at 12:00pm CST for our next mentorship session. https://lnkd.in/geBMprNq

“web3 needs better education so the masses can learn the basics” No, web3 needs outsized personalities. Education means jack if there’s no one exciting to represent what it stands for. Besides, no one wants the basics. They want to feel the fire and be part of something amazing. web3 is here to set the world ablaze, not appeal to the lowest common denominator. More ass kicking. Less educating. One is showing. The other is telling. Show people by kicking ass; let them bear witness and tell it to the world. Onboarding starts by understanding you can’t actually onboard. So give people a damn good reson to do it themselves. Yeah? Brand New Voices #web3

Please stay tuned for updates as I share my progress! 😀 I am super excited to share that I'm embarking on my first Deploy-in-Public challenge! It's a significant milestone in my coding journey, and I'm ready to learn a lot. Shoutout to Callie Stoscup for making this possible! I'll dive into DevOps, and I know I'll fumble a lot, but that's okay. My objectives for the challenge are to hold myself accountable by sharing my progress with you all and to work through a 10-week workshop that will equip me with the skills to deploy full-stack applications using various DevOps tools and practices. The technologies I'll be using include AWS (EKS, RDS), Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Helm, PostgreSQL, React, NestJS, NodeJS, TypeScript, and Nginx. Stay tuned for updates as I share my progress, and good luck to all the other developers taking on this challenge! You got this! 👏 #deployinpublic #codingwithcallie #continuousgrowth
