How to land your first junior front end developer job? Be a senior fullstack developer
@watcbd
"You learn by building" That's why my favorite tutorials are by Micheal Eramo, he gives you a TON of tiny projects to build.
@anasouardini
You learn html,css,js and they tell you it's not enough, and then you add react,nextjs, typescript and you get the same response, again and again. The problem is: I'm already too deep in it, I can't just quit, so I make some products, and guess what? they just sit there collecting dust, I'm so frustrated.
@dnlbellfield
Well said! Learn by building, start small and implement the new concepts and in time you’ll have a solid skill set. Youre right, when you build, you will come across things like cdns and integrating new tools into your project. It all takes time, it can be frustrating but ultimately rewarding. To those still learning and building, stay motivated.

Ive been building a real product for the past 10 months to have something the set me apart from other candidates. But genuinely the best thing i ever did was 4 months of nothing but JavaScript fundamentals. Deep diving on documentation and learning what’s going on under the hood (prototype chain, JSON vs JavaScript objects, stream api etc) , and it very genuinely made me incomparably competent from what i once was. Im not offering some advice on getting a job, i haven’t even applied yet. But anybody struggling to grasp the libraries and frameworks you’ll need to use, I’d urge you to do the same. It stops feeling like such a black box you can’t wrap your head around when you get a better understanding of the language and programming concepts generally

This was really helpful for me to realise how valuable some of my experience is. Like ive got 2.5 years of experience working on an order management system, but through the process I picked up Java, SQL, automated testing, API and Jenkins knowledge that i never thought would be useful as a web dev.. Slowly starting to realise that web dev is just another form of coding, not just about making cool interfaces.

At work, we use a bunch of services to handle job processing and state transitions. Kafka helps manage distributed messages and state changes, while Sidekiq takes care of background jobs efficiently. Instead of making direct API calls with promises, we use JSON builders and a pipeline to pass backend data from Ruby on Rails to React. Enterprise apps are a whole different ballgame compared to building a simple website ha.
@skeletala
Nothing is ever enough in this state of the market 😢I know a senior dev that lost his job and can't get back.
@ntokozokatemoyo
You are always very truthful and blunt. I listen to your advice when i feel that i am losing myself in my self taught developer journey
@judonomi
Hooray... it now only 10 minutes to rattle off the infinite number of things you must know in order to get a job as a web dev.
@ikemkrueger
8:41 The employer sees the stuff you mentioned as "basic". You have an edge over other developers, if you know the stuff and know more on top of that.

I know HTML, CSS, and JS. Along with Netlify, git, github desktop (because it's very close to error-proof), and I just started my Bachelors in software engineering... Because no one would touch someone who's self taught and know only those tools. Not knocking anyone who knows those and can get a job of course, you're more driven than me, I just couldn't make it work. I'd recommend at least knowing DSaA as well and knowing how to structure a web app as well. Most of the long time full stack or software engineers I talk to will say this. Love to hear from you and other on this too. Big O is a huge thing I never had a focus on until I started my degree and going to some Code and Coffee meetups before that.
@dinorossi6611
Dorian, tell us please, how do you get work and jobs now post pandemic and in AI era? Where ? How big are those projects? What are they most often ? And so on and so forth. That is what newbies want and need to know and nobody will tell them.
@oksdoksaodkad
No-one ever said those 3 were ever enough. 3 Years of university, 3 full-stack SaaS projects (all using different backend languages) that each took around 3 months to build due to wanting to get good with CSS so I used no UI libraries, containerised them and hosted them on AWS, brought a professional domain name and still nothing. Annoying when Youtubers think every junior is doing the bare minimum.
@linguavoice
the best part about you is that you re honest.
@Dclem742
This shit just doesn't even seem worth it anymore. I've been unemployed for close to a year now, learning coding on my own, went to a coding bootcamp and I still can't find a job. This market is garbage and I could learn every coding language and framework in the world, but I can't compete with people who are better at this shit than I am. I've wasted so much time and money trying to get a coding job. I can't even get a fucking interview.
@isaacjon
Hey dorian, it's good to see you at the programming side. Also, can you update us with your life in Malaysia?
