Maximizing Productivity as a Developer: Choosing the Right Path

Tech Learning for Developers

Billions .A. Joel
It's hard to wrap your head around what to learn for your optimal productivity and gain as a developer.

But you should understand that it's the job description that gives you what to learn. Many devs tend to fail to choose the right path because they are following someone else's path but it doesn't work like that.

Find someone that works for you, a language or framwework that gives you comfort to work with, then learn all other technologies around the same as the job demands.

This way it is easier for you to pick up one framework at a time and once you have a good grasp and understanding of the underlying concepts its easy to pick up another one.

For example, if you love PHP, find jobs around Laravel, such jobs have a detailed job description that can help you know what you'll need in future.

Basing on that build sample projects with those technologies, you'll never realized how you grew into a senior dev in just a little time.
I can tell you within 6 months you will know livewire, alpine, Vue/React, AWS/Digital ocean/Azure or even nuxt .

While doing all this, be careful not to be swayed away by hype in other tech stacks or frameworks.

With consistency your skills should be needed globally and you'll never have to worry about finding a job.

Good luck 😊
