With the integration of AI (GPT-4 at the moment) with Bing and GitHub, it's very easy to ask for help and get answers quickly. I suggest beginners do that, it's helped me a lot. |

Definitely good to learn but they still hallucinate a great deal. Would take caution and lean on the skills you’ve built. We’re still smarter than AI (for now!) |

Not for long. Adapt to a certain security skill set and own it or cry. |

I think networking plays an important role in the career advance We should give attention to meetups, collaborations and open source project discussions for that. |

Just loving what you do, programming, and making your own fun projects and sharing it around may get you a job. Getting known by a lot of people is very important, especially when you know people in person. For example joining a Discord server and sharing your interesting project or a piece of code can get you in a conversation with other knowledgeable people. I got my first job when I turned 15 years old. I got it because I was very well known in the bootcamp that I was going through at the time. I was always active and helpful to others and I spent a lot of time working and studying, showing a lot of activity on my GitHub profile. Being a social person is a good skill to have. |

My favorite advice for beginners is always the same: practice! Practice every day. Work on different projects, use APIs, contribute on GitHub, build your own website... Keep yourself busy. With time, you will feel more comfortable with complex stuff and more confident. |

Learn to learn. Yes, that's right, don't be like those who want everything chewed up. Understand the concept, the whys, not just how to do it. Don't be attached to any technology, see them as tools that, if used well in the correct context, generate results. Don't be like many who protect a favorite language and despise others. Try to do projects based on the real world, for example, redoing your Instagram home, your Facebook home, an API that calculates the chance of you being attacked by aliens, things that make you learn and enjoy the process. Test everything, databases, APIs, frontend screens, frameworks, AIs, don't just hear about something, live it until you can talk about it. See each mistake as a source of learning, look at each bug as a possibility to become more specialized. |

i dont quite understand how developers as a job/career works? like you work on a company do they like lets say give you 2 months to create a website or something that they want and then what happens after that? do you like wait till they need you again or do they just fire you? |

Hi @Xadly29! The example you mentioned sounds more like a freelance or contracting role as a web-developer. A client can hire you for a website or project and your time will end with them when the project is completed. Doing this means that you will have to seek out opportunities and clients on your own (rather than waiting until they need you). A full-time job as a developer or software engineer at a company usually means you are continuously working on their product. Some of the things you would be working on: implementing new features, fixing bugs, improving the current code, and maintaining the software in general. For examples of new features / updates, check out GitHub's blog! Our changelog shows some of the new updates that engineers have worked on in the past. GitHub's product roadmap also shows what the company is working towards in the next few months. Specific teams will create their own goals / projects to work towards as well. |

I have recently learned some basic JavaScript. What other coding projects should I learn to build more experience before college? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

You have not said what projects you have learned with js. As for other projects.... how about a hybrid vfs env-var library capable of cracking any Kyber Key with just one simple tablet. This would imply college is just college. I am replying to your comment because somehow is the only email I've seen in my box since being here for months and months in building staqtapp. If you have the know how of if and else, some good math skills then come on over. |

best way to learn or to improve is by learning a language of low level such as C++ or C |
