Welcome on the wonderful and frightening journey that makes every developer. It starts with curiosity and early frustration and continues with learning cool stuff and still have fear of missing out.

Find your niche and grow in it. Take care for yourself and listen to your stress, it's trying to send you vital messages. It's always ok to ask someone for help (even in a coding interview). Use communities as a resource.

And thank you for taking us with you on the journey.

With enough experience, you'll be able to see through the hype in most cases, so you happily wait until either the weak spots have been resolved or the whole thing went down the drain.

In the case of web3, there's currently more hype than substance, but once it's stabilized and got rid of all the scams, it might actually be worth it.

Your kind words are really appreciated!
Going through a bootcamp, specially remotely, can kind of be a lonely experience because I have nobody else that relates to what I'm going through.
But I have found community with some of my fellow bootcamp cohorts, as well as different forum sites for different languages.

I'm really thrilled to see what comes my way in this new field!
