The journey of becoming a developer some myths that were broken (a short story from my side)

Source
When I first started coding, there was only one thing in my heart, I want to become a developer, I want to make apps, I want to make websites, I want to impress the world.

But the very first day I opened the code editor... everything went over my head.
Then a friend said, "Brother, coding is only done by geniuses, you can't do it."
And that was the first myth that came to mind.

But I decided let's try it. I started watching tutorials on YouTube. The first file was run hello world I was so happy that I felt like I had become the CEO of Google Hehe.

Then the next myth The more languages ​​you learn, the better developer you will become.
I also tried four or five languages ​​- result? In every language only "hello world" came, nothing else was of use.
Then understand and give the command in one language, then go to the other.

Third myth: "Just Google and Stack Overflow will do the job."
look, when one day a bug came in production, and nothing was made by copying-pasting from everywhere, then it is more important to understand the concepts.

Then the myth came: "If you don't have a degree, no one asks."
Ah Bro, today the market is so open that if you have skills, projects, people approach you themselves. Degree does matter but even without a degree, you can get hired by top companies.

And the funniest myth: "Life is set once you become a developer."
After becoming a developer, actually learning has just begun. New frameworks, new tools, new bugs you have to search for them every day.

Even today, when someone says that "senior developer knows everything", I look at him with amazement Like, the biggest skill of a senior developer is that he knows where to google and how to find the solution.

Well, this was my small story if you are also starting coding then don't worry about these myths. Just keep learning, keep practicing becoming a developer is a game of patience, not of being a genius.
