OP here

I'm sorry you feel that way :(

> idiosyncrasies of their code

I've only had about 6 months of processional work experience, 3 months of which have been open source code, so even just learning _their_ code had a huge learning impact on me because I saw it as "wow, this is how code works in production". I think I learnt less about code itself though honestly, and instead learnt the systems and how those people thought about things. A lot of my code reviews on other people's PRs were "Could you explain to me why you did things this way" since I was just learning.

I don't know where I'm going with this. I'm less than a year out of uni and am still learning new things every week. Taking a year off doesn't sound like a terrible idea - though I know I personally couldn't motivate myself and would end up just playing DotA the whole day ️

I'd love to keep chatting if you'd like and talk about it and how we could learn stuff. Wanna DM me?

You’re both really really green. That job on your resume is worth way more than any learning project, whether is a book or open source or whatever

Bad move
