Explain your journey in the IT sector as a developer

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» My Developer Journey β€” From Java Basics to Full-Stack Realities
Hey folks! πŸ‘‹
I wanted to share a bit about my journey as a developer β€” the ups, the WTF moments, and everything in between.

It all started with a simple Java System.out.println("Hello World"). I still remember the excitement of making that work (after forgetting a semicolon πŸ˜…). Fast forward to today, I’m building, debugging, and shipping backend features in production systems β€” and still learning every day.

πŸ’‘ What helped me grow:

Writing lots (and I mean lots) of Java code. Especially reading others code and trying to understand it on a high level.

Getting my hands dirty with Spring Boot and REST APIs

Pair programming and learning from smarter teammates

Slowly stepping into the DevOps world β€” Docker, CI/CD, and automation magic

🧠 What I’ve learned:

Clean code > clever code

Debugging is a superpower

You won’t know everything β€” and that’s okay

Ask questions, Google bravely, and document everything

I’ve worn multiple hats β€” developer, debugger, accidental sysadmin β€” and that’s the fun part of tech. The learning never stops.

Still growing, still curious. πŸš€
If you're just starting out or stuck somewhere β€” hang in there, you’re not alone.

Let’s keep building πŸ’»βš™οΈ

P.S -> I believe the core ability for a software developer is to understand the error and search it and resolve it, this doesn't mean you need to know everything.
