Appreciate Yourself
You know what's one thing that all developers don't do? I've realized this further in my career.
No one really appreciates how far they've come. No one realizes how much they've done to get where they are. I find this very common among multiples, like people and developers. It scopes outside of being just a developer, but you kind of forget about all the previous challenges, difficulties, and goals.
You have to appreciate yourself. When times get hard, you keep going, and I'm sure you'll keep going. It won't be the last time that you get through something that you got stuck on. It happens, pat yourself on the back for what you've done in your career and don't be so harsh on yourself now.
Remembering Your Journey
You get so lost in the journey that you forget how far you've come.
The harder the struggle, the bigger the growth. Maybe you're working on how a four loop works, and now you're writing a full stack website that has a database and everything. Your challenges are still there, but just on a bigger scale. Sometimes you just have to appreciate the struggle.
Reflect on Your Growth
My best advice as a developer is just don't get into yourself too much. Because once you think that you're bad or not good enough, it's hard for you to get out of that mindset.
I feel like everyone has a bit of impostor syndrome no matter what, so you can't really escape it. No one really thinks that they're good enough. If you're not struggling, then you can't get any better. In my case, writing these blogs is a struggle for me. This is way out of my comfort zone, but I’m trying to see if I can learn more about writing and getting my thoughts out there.
Be Your Biggest Fan
At the end of the day, no one is going to want you to succeed how much as you do, so try to be your biggest fan. Try to make your future self look back at what you have done and smile knowing that you were able to make it through all the struggle.
