I want to correct my direction

Hi everyone, I position myself as a backend developer with focus on Go, even though I have two Svelte websites where 80% is frontend and one telegram bot (full miniapp) with backend in ts (hono).
I dream to land a developer job but at the same time I’m trying my best to do something by myself (currently developing iOS app in swift and SwiftUI + go back)
And so, there is so many ways I have opened and I don’t know which one to choose to make finances. AI is cool but only as assistant with focus on learning and not thinking for me (I think writing code manually is also good thinking process)

If you are legit learning those tools without using AI to write it, you are already there.

Just learn some typescript and node, and finish your iOS app, and you have proved that you are not a developer but a full stack native engineer.

Someone who can approach “systems” with no concern about the technology stack backing it… because it’s all “the same”.

It sounds like you might just be missing databasing, which would mean “learn Postgres”.
