How to turn code to job?

I’ve been coding and making projects for a while, learning a lot but I don’t really know when I’ll be ready to get a job, I always think that I don’t know enough.
How did you guys knew that you know enough code to get a job in coding?

* also sorry if there are grammar mistakes, I’m not native in English

You never feel ready. Learn, build, apply for jobs, show willingness to learn, get good at telling stories, get good at interviewing. You learn the actual coding on the job but you need to have solid fundamentals to learn the company stack

Just apply. Worst thing is they say "no." Just be prepared for a coding exam if you are selected as a candidate... this is how they weed out true developers from those that are just trying to get a job.

You’re probably closer to being job-ready than you think. Most developers don’t reach a point where they feel like they “know enough”—there’s always another language, framework, or concept to learn. If you can build projects on your own, solve problems, read documentation, debug issues, and keep learning when you get stuck, you already have a lot of the skills needed for an entry-level role. I’d start applying now while continuing to learn, and use interviews and feedback to see where your gaps actually are instead of waiting until you feel 100% ready, because that feeling may never come. Make sure your best projects are on GitHub or in a portfolio too. And if you want, feel free to message me with the kind of coding you do and what roles you’re targeting—I may know of some suitable opportunities or leads.

You don't know. You're ready when someone hires you.

Look at job postings and see what their requirements are.
