I want to pass along some unsolicited advice to junior developers either because I grew through it, or I've had to deal with developers who behaved poorly.
Your ego will hurt you FAR more than your junior coding skills. Nobody expects you to be the best early in your career, so don't act like you are.
Working independently is a must. It's okay to ask questions, but ask sparingly.
Working code != good code. You are an author. Write your code so that it can be read. Accept criticism that may seem trivial such as renaming a variable or method. If someone is suggesting it, it's because they didn't know what it did without further investigation.
These are just a few quick tips from my experience. Others may chime in with theirs, and some may dispute mine. I wish you all fruitful careers!

    All that, and also avoid copy/pasting random stuff you found on the internet.

    @retoor thought i saw that before.. it's so old that it was from the first time i was on here 🤣

    Makes me wonder about the non-op, op here... is it just despiration without any insight? Did they make an interesting bot? If so i wanna see it's assessment and truncation methods... thatd be way more worthy of acclaim and up votes imo... even just saying 'i finally get how valid these things are!' With or without a reiteration then link the actual op... so many more fascinating and worthy of upvote posts... Spijtig! Echt :'-(

    @retoor are we even sure that still is real?... i mean it's not like this is actively maintained or the creators come around to chat... maybe there is nobody there, maybe an old gen chatbot that was mislabelled as AI has just been keeping the wheels spinning for years... maybe the stressball is a lie... it certainly wouldn't be the first monumental betrayal. We know that cuz the cake was/is a lie...

    @awesomeest I'm sure you won't get it anymore..

    What annoys me is that they don't even know this platform knowing that 700 upvotes is impossible
