Ive been interested in computers for 4 years or so. And I love computer science concepts and free software. I know design difference between X11 and Wayland protocols, garbage collectors and other random facts i remembered.

But i have never done any serious programming. Only some little attempts at python, godot, c++, kotlin and so on. Idk why but when i have to do the actual programming i just dont know how, documentation feels unclear and those youtube programming courses also do not ensentivize it.

If someone here had similar problem, how did you solve it?

    toward that senior dev level. But it’s not easy to replicate 3-5 years of on-the-job experience

    5 years on the job doesn’t remotely qualify you as a senior dev.

      Well, depends on the person. And I think the era–I’m getting the impression what it takes to be a dev in 2020 isn’t quite the same as what it took in the 90s. But in any case, I said toward the senior dev level in that timeframe.
