I've always dreamt to become a software developer, but how do I start? Do I need to have a computer science degree to work? What's the difference between a junior and a middle developer? Is it really possible to code large apps in JavaScript? Why do the reviewers leave so many comments in my pull requests? My code seems to work! I've passed a technical interview, but I've never had a need to find palindromes in a huge string. What's the point? I'm happy with my current job, but how do I grow in my career? I've written code that's working, but now the management wants me to optimize for performance. I've never done that, where do I start? I've spent 5 days on this nasty bug, and I still don't know what's the cause of the problem. I'm desperate! ===== Ever had any of these thoughts in your head? The blogposts on medium don't really seem to help? Let's talk honestly about the IT industry. You can ask anything you want and get an answer from an IT pro with 12+ years of experience: frontend, backend, desktop, Angular, Typescript, JavaScript, React, C#, .net, node.js, DBs, APIs etc. I'd be glad to be of any help to you!
