Have you ever felt like the weakest link on your development team? You're not alone.
The moment you land your first developer job, you're likely to face the crushing weight of comparison. Your teammates seem to know everything while your mind fills with doubts about your abilities. Seven years ago, this pressure nearly drove me out of the industry despite earning more money than ever before.
The stress was paralyzing - I faced panic attacks each morning and received direct feedback about my inadequate skills.
I developed a powerful three-step system that transformed my approach to professional growth that I want to share with you.
