I would give the same advice as you. In addition to that, I would tell myself to focus on web development and don't get distracted with programming for native Windows Phone, Native Android and iOS.

That was my biggest mistake ever, I started only last year! I tried to engage with the JHipster project as a contributor (I made one little pull request), but I don't have the time to code for the project. So I decided to engage with the JHipster project as enthusiastic by spreading the word and sharing my experience using it.

That's a problem, especially if you depend on the toxic person's opinion to be recognized by other people because he is your superior.

You are such a gentleman Anthony! I have been following your work and you were maybe the first person that interacts with me on the JHipster project ☺
I would tell me to start a blog
I would tell myself that there's no problem in talking about yourself and your success and failure. You are not showing off, you are letting the people know you to engage or invite you to work together or a job opportunity.
My last 3 posts here were annotations that I wrote down in case I forget how to do something or if I need a quick refreshing on a specific technology.
Hey Renan
Thanks for your contribution.
For #1 and #2 an do agree with you and I'm glad to see people sharing their experience on JHipster and knowing how they are making their apps. We often forget that the first way to help people is just to share our daily work to let them understand how we can leverage from a tool or a framework. Also, it helps the maintainers to be connected with the community and understand the needs.
You can't imagine how many people I saw doing great things, for who sharing was not an option.
Not because they wanted to keep it for themselves but just because they didn't realize it's a good way to support others.
So please, keep going on this way.
I think it takes time to figure out you can be your own captain and make your own decision, especially throwing away these people. Sometimes it's good to be selfish and first think about our well-being.
I can't be happier to know from my little city in France I helped people across the world in Brazil. This is my main reward for being a contributor and content creator. I would like to help people like people who helped me start in this domain. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Last but not least, please continue to write blog posts and share your experience with us. It's a chance for us ;)

Thank you very much for sharing this!😃

I agree, sharing is a good way to learn and verify if you really understand the concepts you are using. And it helps others.
