I'd strongly recommend checking out Swyx's book "The Coding Career Handbook". It has a _ton_ of useful advice for working on your career:

I've got a few "career"-related articles that might be useful, particularly:

- Keeping a daily work journal: https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2020/09/coding-career-advi...

- Searching for info online efficiently: https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2020/11/coding-career-sear...

- and a very long post on using Git effectively: https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2021/01/coding-career-git-...

If you're doing any web dev, I've also got a "How Web Apps Work" series that acts as a fairly detailed overview of web dev terms, concepts, and technologies (HTTP, servers, JavaScript syntax and development, HTML/CSS, and fetching data):
