What are junior developers worried about? 38 Zoom calls later and this is what I found out Lee Mallon

I wish I got asked a lot more  "where do I start as a new developer?"  this happens rarely, and it turns out that new developers just don't  want to ask. There is this belief that those more experienced are busy  😂 which if you saw how much more experienced developers mess around  with home automation or build open-source libraries, you would know this  isn't the case.

To combat this fear in junior developers reaching out, when I see  someone online post something under #100daysofcode or similar, I Twitter  DM them some words of validation (we all need that even if its from someone we don't know) and almost always in that message exchange I get asked in a roundabout way "how do I get a job?".
