This was comforting to read. I’m in the middle-end of a software engineering boot camp and have struggled with similar emotions. I’m very excited to enter this field, but nervous for the state of the economy and available jobs(especially with so many experienced DEVs looking for work). I want to stay motivated and hungry but often times find my mind drifting to worries about the future. Thanks for sharing.
I myself am in a similar situation. I have been in the QA department and after this disease happened I started to believe more in myself to improve. I think this is the best time to handle all of those ideas and put them into a list and then build.
You are right, that there are so many Devs looking for a job, but you should not be one of them. You should become creative and start to improve your portfolio. Even if your app shows hello world in different languages , but that is still an app with many of functions which you need to know to get a job :)
