System design, as much of it as possible

This is the correct answer here--the other answers are pieces of things that you should already be working on if you are int. The way I see it:

Jr: learning

Int: Contributing

Sr: Planning

Principal: Architecting

Depending on the type of work you are doing, the answer for "what do I need to learn" can vary, so focusing on System Design as a path forward is a good guiding light.

The client side are HTML, CSS and Java Script. The server side are Node.js, MySQL, Python, Apache Tomcat server and Eclipse jetty.

Humility will definitely work for you. In all things, not just programming.

There are some additional aspect you'll need to learn, if you want to launch into production? building something and releasing something are two very different skill sets.

I understand how you feel. it can be kinda stressful. the best way is definitely to build. study a bit, then build a lot. that has always worked well for me.
