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?".
