As the title states. I’ve been a software developer for a year now and work for a tiny company, where the salary isn’t amazing. I got paid more at Apple Genius Bar, but it wasn’t as challenging.

I still feel like I’m stupid, I’ll rely on the owner lead engineer for help on the more complex problems and because we have a great set of conventions I’ll frequently be going back to old projects to extract the logic from their. Whether that be reading from Excel spreadsheets or the controller flow, as we use GraphQL api for most calls.

Does it just click at some point?

    Thanks.

    Yeah you’re right one year is nothing, I have a tendency to overthink and want to know what the future will hold.

    I am planning on learning more about the security side as this is something we don’t offer and think it could be a great addition for clients to not have to pay for their own pen testing etc.

    Plus the boss does a lot with LLMs so I’ve been showing willingness to learn more about integrating these and he is more than happy to guide me and show me the cool things he’s built for us to use.
