What's one advice you would give to your junior self? So to my junior self, I would just say, keep on learning, keep on looking at at uh different things, um and keep trying stuff. Even if it fails, it doesn't matter, just keep trying say. Invest time in learning the foundations because this is what you're building your career on. And if you don't do it, it will come back to bite you later on, so the sooner the better. So, basically the fundamentals. Yeah. Kind of going deep into it and I would say don't be so hard on yourself when it comes to feeling obsolete with all the changes that are happening a million miles an hour. If you just keep chugging along and learning good fundamentals, you'll weather the storm and at the end of the day, you have nothing to worry about. Make sure you know the basics in depth, like JavaScript, hit. Only two many things at one, that's basically. Rocking on the fundamentals maybe? Exactly, the fundamentals, one thing at a time, focus on say front end first, then the back end, and do one thing. Like don't try and learn like JavaScript, then React, then Angular and four or five things. Kind of going all over the place, zigzag everywhere and panic and do little courses here and two weeks here, two weeks there. So you're never going to really learn it. Don't stress as much because the more you'll do, like at some point it's going to click and it's going to make sense. But like I remember my junior self being always stressed, like I need to learn that thing and I need to learn the other thing and like in time, you actually go through them where some of them that were very hard for you at that point. Now become super like easy. Yeah, real. So no fear of missing out or taking it slowly, taking it one one step at a time, yeah, literally just focused and eat them one by one because it's like you're just an async no JS queue, like you just eat one event at a time and you solve it, that's it. Don't stress too much, just take time, but fundamentals are the key. these are
