Congratulations on your success in landing a developer job 🎉!

What you have accomplished is no small feat. In fact it’s uniquely challenging because:

• Unlike university, there is no mold or template for you to follow
• There is no guarantee of success at the end
• You had to hold yourself accountable without a teacher or boss
• And you managed to secure and rack a coding interview without any official qualifications!

We all have our own unique challenges as well - like learning to code alongside a full-time job, struggling with tutorial hell or, centring a div 😂

New coders usually assume development about memorising code but that is the "easy" part compared to learning to think like a programmer or structure your learning without burning out. That's why we'd like to invite you to write about your experience and challenges learning to code for the benefit of anyone on the same path as you hoping to become a Junior developer.

You could write about,

• Your motivation to start coding
• How you picked a resource
• How you structured your learning
• What made coding concepts "stick" for you
• Your greatest challenges and how you overcame them
