Hi Junior Developer,
I decided to write this letter to you. You’re probably just starting out on your dream developer career. I was there at some p...

#softwaretag out for#beginners? This is top notch content, and the Beginners tag is highly visible.Great article! One thing you touch that I think is really important, but not thaught enough is to learn effective planning of your applications. If done properly you not only know what to do, you solve problems faster and the flow of your application will also be documented. Also your test suite will love you. With 7 years of experience, I still struggle sometimes with planning out projects properly.
Yes of course. An effective planning is required as well. Thanks for reading and share your thoughts!
Thanks for the letter. I promise to keep coding.
Greetings from Nigeria.
I can totally resonate with when you said "Stay swimming on this ocean of codes". When I started swimming (I mean real swimming:) ) I couldn't event finish 25 yards without struggling. I stayed with it, kept showing up and practicing/swimming until I could swim 5000m none-stop. Now any lake I see I feel like jumping into it! Same exact principles you laid out here. Almost identical. Great post. Thank you.
OMG!
Seems exactly what I'm badly in need of!
I'm that person that'll set goals (daily, weekly and monthly) on the things that I want achieve in the particular period, but I just don't know why along the way, before achieving the goals (especially those on relatively longer term), my motivation becomes no-where-to-be-found! 😭
I always have to struggle again to get me back on track!
Thank you so much for this great article, it's a pleasure reading it and I really enjoy it!
Endless Greetings from Nigeria 💑
Thank you for the great post! I see myself somewhere in there. But would you please give some more advice that helps to keep self-motivation in code? I've started coding when I was a kid, it was so much interesting that time and I could stay up very late to code. But the motivation is weaker over time, I think I'm stopping learning new thing :(
yeah, once you stop learning new things it gets a little boring which is why you need to be more curious, learn relearn and unlearn. you also have to be creative in your area of interest...
As a beginner 5 years on since I decided to learn coding, I really appreciate your letter. The worst part is that I don't know how good or bad I am... When I feel good about the whole thing, I feel so comfy with coding, but then the bad feeling drives me to learn more. Thank you so much and when I achieve my dreams I will ditto you a reply. ✌
This is a really good read. I am in the beginning stages of learning Web Dev and I feel the pain of wanting to stop daily but if I continue to move one foot in front of the other, then I will never been standing still. I'll get there one day.
I find the best way of planning simpler code is to write
// @todocomments for each step you expect to need to do, then refine. Never expect to get it all right from the beginning.Thanks for sharing.
Great Message Sir! Really motivating. Thank you!
Thanks for reading too. It´s really awesome to hear that!
Great advice! I can say I've had my share of ups and downs over the past 4 years as a 2016 college graduate. Discipline and focusing on constant (small) improvements helps a lot.

Thanks for the motivational article Roberto - I'm definitely in that negative, stressed and upset phase at the moment where I feel like nothing makes sense! I will keep on pushing through :)
Letter received! Thank you so much, you just helped me to remain calm despite the projects that I want to tackle-down before the end of the year.
Thank you for your message! :)
