Programming is such a vast area. As you have said right in the beginning, I believe it makes each one of us have very unique experiences when learning about coding and taking part in activities such as coding bootcamps. So many paths to follow. xD
You said you took the lead on the group projects, so you certainly have learned more than just coding. Communicating efficiently with other programmers is very important.
I guess even when working for years within the area we still feel kind of confused on what to focus or learn because there is so much going on all the time. But this also means there is always something to discover. =)
Just keep learning, in your own time. You like coding, that is what it takes to find a great programming job.

You make some very good points there, thanks. I pride myself on communications skills and so it's comforting to hear those skills are also valued (as I think they should be). No plans to stop my coding journey!
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Very great and well written, Sarah.
