A few years ago, I remember doing JavaScript for the first time.

I followed a few courses on Udemy and leaned HTML and CSS. Then JS.

To me HTML and CSS related to each other and I jumped into JS thinking it would be similar, I thought there would be some similarities but NOPE.

It was hard at first and I thought about giving up so many times but I'm glad I didn't. Now I've built a life long career and it's just second nature. I'm so glad I didn't give up because it was honestly life-changing and a gateway into so many other programming languages.

At this point only 3 years later learning a new language or framework is just another day in the office and just second nature. Currently working full time, work from home and earning twice as much as I was working a blue collar job.

Current stack is react front end and .net backend, working on a couple of different projects. Mostly the same backend stack but Bau has me across vue, angular and react all at the same time. Pretty wild tbh but they are really old dog front ends with the react projects slowly taking over and replacing them all.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is if your just jumping into JS, don't give it up. It can be life changing if you stick to it and don't take shortcuts ( ie: abusing ai )

Hi all, I just landed my first ever interview for a junior dev (javascript, react) in UK! I'm really nervous about what to expect, specially because some of the technologies are unknown to me (typeScript). Having said this, I'm really excited!

From your experience, is there any advice you can give me when it comes to justifying if you don't know a technology. Also, what type of questions do you normally get. This interview is with the recruiter, first one.

Thank you!
