  • TOP is a great way to learn, but is has a lot of differences to paid development work.

    "Studying without Certainty" chapter on anxiety from not doing enough all the time was very relatable.
    I liked TOP, it's not 1:1 to working, but it was never intended to be, much like a CS degree is not 1:1 to working (Or any degree to work relationship). It's an entry into the field.

      Yup it is a tough road to go down! But well worth it in the end. Nothing quite prepares you perfectly but TOPs good enough.

    Hey there! Did you refer to any other material or resource other than The Odin Project to eventually bag your job?

      I started really early on learning about the web on Khan Academy, but really, 99% of my learning was via The Odin Project. However, one big caveat here, is that for my final Rails project I built a live dog adoption site with real users. This project took me three months and I did it outside of The Odin Project. It is also what really helped me land my first job as not many juniors build production apps. So, I recommend doing something similar to stand out. There is so much more to just coding when you build something like that...understanding a problem and developing a solution with code, working with a client, users, user feedback etc.

    Could you do a day in the life of what you ACTUALLY do as a developer?

    • @self_taught_dev
      @self_taught_dev  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      For sure. I am going to do that. It will be a couple weeks out as I have some other videos lined up already.

    What tech stack do you use at your work? Do you still use Ruby On Rails or did you switch to Javascript for your job?

    • @self_taught_dev
      @self_taught_dev  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Ruby on rails currently, with some JS. Last job was Python and JS.

      @@self_taught_dev Thank you I am currently tryna make the decision if I wanna take the ruby on rails or javascript path for the odin projects, seems javascript is more in demand but Ruby on Rails looks like a better developer experience.
