I’m looking to hear from web developers about what becoming a web developer actually looked like in practice — especially in the early stages.
1. How did you first get into web development?
(Career switch, self-taught, courses, degree, bootcamp, etc.)
2. What was the hardest part of learning web development at the beginning?
(Coding itself, understanding concepts, staying consistent, confidence, etc.)
3. Which skills or technologies were the most challenging for you to learn — and which came surprisingly easily?
4. How long did it take before things started to “click” for you?
5. What do beginners usually underestimate about becoming a web developer?
6. What advice would you give to someone wondering if web development is “too hard” for them?
Please include a short 1–2 sentence first-person bio (role, years of experience, current focus).
