I'm just a hobbyest for now, the few times I tried to read code I felt lost. I think everyone will agree that trying to understand how your chosen framework does thing is pretty important, but everytime I tried to read the source code for react or vue I felt lost.

I'd really like to be able to read other people's code. Now that I think about it I should start by reading tutorial sourse code (reading the uploaded end result before the actual tutorial)

Communication

I have cerebral palsy and my speech is extremely bad. A small part of the reason why I haven't started applying for jobs is communication.

Can one break into this industry and advance without verbal communication?

The goal of reading the code is to understand the logic behind it, as well as how the other developer intends to implement it. There is one thing you can do. You can ask an experienced developer to review your code.

Nowadays, most of the communication is done through chat messages since the world is changing towards the Work From Home (WFH) model.

Beethoven was deaf, but he became one of the greatest musicians in history.

In order to become stronger by converting your weakness into strength.

It would be helpful for you to read a book called "The Power of Subconscious Mind."

You can ask an experienced developer to review your code.

I understand that senior devs help juniors by reviewing their code but I never thought of picking a dev through twitter or github and just contact them: "you don't know me but can you review my code". I've been looking to find forums/message-bords where code reviews were in offer but no luck so far.

Nowadays, most of the communication is done through chat messages since the world is changing towards the Work From Home (WFH) model.

I thought it was done through voice/video calls which I kind of dread. Though your are right.

Thanks

Thanks for your time

Don't worry, you can do it. Video/Voice calls are only used for meetings.
You're welcome :)

There is no age limit to do anything.
