The bad part about being the ~solo developer is you don’t have as many people around you to learn from.
The good part about being the ~solo developer is you learn how to deal with almost all the universal challenges involved in making software, so you will be able to understand quickly and jump in to help with just about anything at your math skill level - as long as you are on a team that supports you and complements your skill set, but still. Your skills are enormously valuable to the right organization, don’t discount them.
- ktsangop 4y agoAgreed! Been on a one-man team for many years, and have felt exactly the same. As others stated you are definitely not a loser. I know it because I'm not. :P - Almost every one of us is working on boring CRUD web apps, and that's fine - Work is not the only part of life that is supposed to make you happy (on the contrary) - Try to spend all of your free time off screen. Exercise, meditate, read some books (not coding ones ..) - XP >> LeetCode. A college graduate will definitely beat me at LeetCode, but I have been integrating online payment/banking systems in production web apps which have handled millions of $$ payments. Learn to promote those skills when job hunting, and don't worry about DS and Algos so much. - We all need a bit of luck too : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LopI4YeC4I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LopI4YeC4I
