This is one of the greatest fears.
I started to work into software developing at the age of 23.
But my career has been really strange.

My job is all about "using softwares", that of course include code, but just in some sort of "software native" language that are "similar" to Java and MySQL... you know what I mean.
Than I started to travel as consultant... my country and abroad, for years.

Lastly, I felt in love with web and JS. I already built my portfolio and I got the FCC front end certification.
Going on, learning frameworks... but I work full time, It's really hard.

I'm stucked... I know the "code standards"... how to learn by references, how to develope clean code and debug, how to handle customers and how to speak with a team (also been a team leader, during my last two year in my old position), ho to work with other people and have "respect" for my job and my bosses.

Now I'm in a new position, with the same job I did before, just more "techical", I'm still using softwares, and I would love to move to a junior position in web developement... but I'm almost 31...
