Tips for New Software Developers

This. New devs, take note…

Tip 4: Accept that you will not know every technology and framework and that’s ok…but never stop learning!

New developers frequently feel insecure because they know there’s a vast array of technologies that they know nothing about. It doesn’t help reading comments on some tech blogs where people try to present an image as if they have deep knowledge of all different technologies. Trust me, they don’t. The tech field is so vast and constantly changing that there’s no way for any one person to know every technology and framework out there. You need to accept that this is ok and you don’t need to know everything to be effective.
