Answer 1

@Morpheus... I'm flattered that you would be interested in reading any material I would post in a blog.

It's interesting that you should ask. I've actually been considering the idea of starting a blog. Since becoming active in SoloLearn, I feel like I've been forming a bit of a writer's voice with information people would be interested in. I've also considered submitting articles to Medium.com.

Thanks for the compliment.

Answer 2

Some non programming related challenges many inexperienced developers struggle with are as follows:

- Knowing how and when to push back on out-of-scope requests or more generally speaking, knowing when to say no.

- Setting realistic expectations on the effort of a development task.

- Knowing how and when to ask for help from senior developers.

- Some will struggle with code reviews and take criticism personally.

- Many will struggle with searching for the right job based on culture, qualifications, interests, etc. Many will struggle with interviewing and communication skills in general.

- Many will struggle with knowing how qualified they really are. Some don't give themselves enough credit, while most will give themselves too much credit.

- Most will struggle with negotiating the proper salary.

- Many will struggle having to unlearn many of the bad coding practices taught in college.

- Many will struggle working with teams and learning about processes.

These are a few that come to mind.

Great answers... most of the times no-coding tasks have to be considered before coding because success in achieving our goals can often rely on them and not in code itself.

A lot struggle with not being good enough but are good, and those that think they are so good, are not that good programmers
