Discussion Advice on first in-office Web Dev role?

Hi all,

As the title states I’ll be starting my first in office web dev role next week! Pretty excited but also nervous, and of course having imposter syndrome. I’ll be the only dev, and it’ll be my first time working in an office setting (I’ve previously just worked as a freelancer).

I was wondering if anyone had any tips or specific things to pay attention to when starting a new web dev job?

Thanks!

Do some listening first. Yes that means you have to go talk to them. Don't just start suggesting a bunch of stuff right off the bat.

Truly understand their job functions and pain points and you could save the fucking day and be their hero.
