Prologue   I wrote this blog five years ago when I was a junior developer. The tips I shared... Tagged with software, community, developer, career.

Dev.to is a community platform for developers, offering resources, discussions, and networking opportunities to empower individuals in their coding journey. Developers can learn new programming languages, frameworks, and tools, engage in discussions on best practices, and share their experiences with fellow developers to enhance their skills and grow their professional network.

Advice for intermediate developers: Love your job, be a generalist, never stop learning new tech, and take ownership of the products you build.

Advice for Intermediate developers

Great advices. Except one.
Being a generalist could become an issue when you become a « jack of all trades and a master of none »
Today’s web is complex. Way more than you can imagine if you didn’t spend a lot of time digging.
For example: Accessibility, testing, modern APIs, performances, analytics …etc are all required knowledge to be a good frontend and may require years to master.
I’ve met a lot of « generalists » in my career and while they were great for tackling problems, they were often unable to actually implement solutions that would not need a complete review/rewriting six months later.

thanks for sharing your valuable advice ❤️

Useful &amp; valuable advices. I totally agree with “Take ownership”, as it reflects your attitude and responsibility
