Some good points, e.g. about documenting (which you could, for instance, achieve by blogging) ... I'm just puzzled by the infamous "three percent" - what's that about, how do you define it, and why would you even want or need to be part of it? Seems a highly artificial goal ... just be yourself & believe in yourself would be my advice - don't get crazy about what others say you "should" do.

"just be yourself & believe in yourself would be my advice - don't get crazy about what others say you "should" do." - As a junior developer, I needed these words today 🥺

Cool! yeah it's good to be passionate, and some of the advice that I'm reading left and right is fine, but don't take every piece of advise as an absolute truth - more often than not "it depends", so do your own critical thinking and ultimately make your own choices
