π¨βπ» My Developer Journey β From Java Basics to Full-Stack Realities
Hey folks! π
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 π ). Fast forward to today, Iβm building, debugging, and shipping backend features in production systems β and still learning every day.
π‘ 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
π§ What Iβve learned:
Clean code > clever code
Debugging is a superpower
You wonβt know everything β and thatβs okay
Ask questions, Google bravely, and document everything
Iβve worn multiple hats β developer, debugger, accidental sysadmin β and thatβs the fun part of tech. The learning never stops.
Still growing, still curious. π
If you're just starting out or stuck somewhere β hang in there, youβre not alone.
Letβs keep building π»βοΈ
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.
