professional-programming VS developer-roadmap

The inclusion of the perspective section: https://github.com/charlax/professional-programming?tab=read... I think is really smart. Same for personal productivity. Two things that can dramatically change how and what you end up studying and doing with your time / life.

I did a coding bootcamp and yeah the frontend knowledge they taught was useful, but I could have learned that online for free. Looking back, the far more valuable thing I learned was how to discipline myself and my time - that was the first time in my life I was truly disciplined and mindful in how I spent my time. I also got perspective I'd never seen before: there was some folks in my cohort that were in their 30s and 40s and undergoing career change, and I learned two things from them: First, don't stress too much, your life has much more flexibility than you might expect (this truth is borne out, they all have perfectly successful careers in their new lives as engineers), and second, make a great use of the time you have.

Bog-standard advice we all know, but to witness it firsthand from people living it and sharing it is different. The shared article in the github is incredible: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/sep/07/termin...

I often wonder why I don't see more of these sorts of articles. From watching a family member slowly die of cancer, and from reading books like "When Breath Becomes Air," I'm guessing it's some combination of exhaustion, disability, and a new set of priorities that doesn't really involve death blogging. Still, I find these kinds of writings more poignant than most things I read.

1. Professional Programming

Professional Programming. As reported, The goal of this page is to make you a more proficient developer. If you have excellent resources, you can try to open a PR and include them here. But in any csae, I wanted to include this because it seems super interesting.

Developer Roadmaps - roadmap.sh

Learning the basics of web development opens doors to many other careers in the tech field.  Roadmap.sh provides guides, learning paths, and roadmaps to point developers in a direction of their choosing.

There's a website I personally follow specific for roadmaps called as “roadmap.sh” where all the roadmaps are available. You can check it out, if you like. Here's the link: ▶️ https://roadmap.sh/

If you're starting your journey in web development, here is a roadmap to follow. Understand that Web development is not merely an extension of programming; it's a distinct field that requires a unique blend of coding and visual design skills. Embrace the importance of visual aesthetics from the get-go, and continuously work on improving your design sense. Trust me it will pay off in the long run, and you'll be able to create truly exceptional web experiences that not only function well but also look and feel amazing.

It may also be beneficial to start with a high-level overview of what there is to learn in a given area, to understand the overall lay of the land - and then use ChatGPT to dig deeper into selected topics. There are many good resources that provide such an overview, like roadmap.sh or my "Definitive Guide to Succeeding as a Professional Dev".
