Do you enjoy solving problems? Do you like to learn new things? Do you love building stuff out of thin air? Then you are a developer! Every developer has a unique set of knowledge, at any level, and that is what makes every single one of us interesting. I like to use this analogy with my students/mentees: when you are driving, are you looking at your steering wheel or the road coming ahead? It's the same for your skills: instead of focusing on your present skills, try to focus on the road ahead of you, technologies you want to learn tomorrow, projects you want to work on next week, amazing products you want to build this year!
