- I've spent far more time fixing issues than I have spent time writing original code
- Bugs are a thing and will always be a thing
- Holy god having a monitor and keyboard is worth the cost
- I guess I'm getting paid to be super uncomfortable all the time now
- There are days I just don't wanna; and that's ok, I have to do it anyway, and if I do it, the suckage goes away after about 20 minutes.
- I'm reading far more code than I expected: for every line of code I write, I probably read 5-20 lines of other code
- I read way more english than I ever thought I would, too
- Not every article you find on the internet about something is helpful
- Once you get past very very basic things in code, the resources become far fewer in between, more full of jargon, and considerably less accurate, overall.
- I see a lot of plagiarism and its gross. Don't steal other people's code examples or articles w/o attribution, yo.
- Graphs, visuals, pictures, and color-coded anything is my friend.
- If you can make coding funny and human it takes a lot of the suck out of it when you're struggling
- Asking questions is ok and no one thinks I'm an idiot.
- I should ask questions sooner than I do.
- Just cause I'm new, doesn't mean I'm wrong
- Its better to feel stupid in front of other people and figure something out than feel stupid in private and not make progress
- A good team will make or break your experience, cause this job is HARD
- Being physically active is a non-negotiable
- I'm SO glad I didn't give up
- Getting paid this much is a mental adjustment, it helps to reframe your salary as being compensated for business value-added. (hint---you're adding a lot of business value.)
- Don't ever take side gigs that don't pay a regular developer rate, you won't be taken seriously and you won't be able to do your best work.
- This is the most fulfilling job I've ever had.
