Home automation?! That sounds awesome! Congrats! ๐
My little random tidbits of advice....
Review Senior Dev PRs - Sometimes when you are starting out you think you have no business reviewing a senior dev's code. FALSE! You totally should! You might just spot something they missed(has happened multiple times to me!). Worst case, if you don't find a bug, you will learn something from reading their code. I still learn from reading other's code.
Dont Be Afraid To Ask Questions or Ask for Help! - Everyone needs help at some point, no matter how experienced they are. The sooner you get comfortable asking for help when you need it, the better.
Keep Your Head Up! - There will be days when you are staring at a problem that you can't make heads or tails of and you will feel like you have no business coding. Just know, that is totally NORMAL! I still have days like that!
I am a Senior Software Engineer currently working on Ruby, Rails, ReactJS. My previous experience includes, PHP along with CakePHP, CodeIgniter and Kohana.

This is sound advise, never thought about reading others' PR.
This is what I do. There's always something to learn even when you're a seasoned developer.
Not asking questions will only make matters worse if you don't know.
"Review Senior Dev PRs" FTW! I totally agree with this.
We had a book club on my team at Comcast when I was a junior and it totally helped me level up. Maybe you could convince your team to start one?
Thats a great idea! I'm assuming getting to know people on a personal level made it less intimidating to work with them ๐
