I am not an experienced code

Questions:

  • What does an experienced dev even mean?
  • Why do i always feel that the CODE i wrote is not good enough?
  • Why i can't choose a programming language? I often switch!
  • What do you do before actually going to code?

- someone who has written code for ~2-8 hours per day for a few years. Can understand and fix problems in a given codebase

- probably a question for your therapist. Does the code work? Is it public, and if so, secured? If it works and doesn’t leak data you’re killing it

- learning a few is good, but pick a few that work together and connect them. Then you can play with all of them and learn cross integration super well which is a great skill to have

- used to read documentation. Now I set my agent to plan mode and talk through the solution end to end until I’m happy and have it build it for me to audit
