If you had to forget everything you have learned and start over as a developer. What are the two things you would do first?

For me,

  1. Immediately join good communities and read at least 5 things daily.
  2. Learn based on what I want to get done, not what I think I need to know.

    • start on a backend its easier to transfer from BE to FE than vice versa
    • join reddit r's for experienced devs even if you are newbie
    • volunteer to take tasks nobody wants
    • ramp up you soft skills...they are equaly if not more important than hard skills

    That would mean going back to 1983... and to be honest, my journey from a curious 7 year old writing simple programs in BASIC, moving with technology to where I am now has been an absolute blast - always a voyage of discovery, never a chore.

    I wouldn't change any of it.
