As a beginner web developer, I realized something early on —I didn’t start coding because I was confident. I started because I was curious. I was curious about: - How a button actually works when you click it - Why a website breaks when one small line of code is wrong - How HTML, CSS, and JavaScript talk to each other behind the scenes At first, nothing made sense. Errors everywhere. Things not working.But instead of quitting, curiosity kept asking: “Why did this happen?” Every bug became a question.Every fix became a small win. I’m still learning, still slow, still making mistakes —but I’ve learned that curiosity is more important than talent at the beginning. If you’re new to coding and feel lost sometimes, maybe that’s okay.As long as you’re curious enough to keep going, you’re already on the right path 🚀

@Pedro Sousa is self-taught. Two months unemployed. Crippling imposter syndrome. He could build entire apps from scratch, but didn't feel "good enough" for US companies. Three weeks later? He passed ALL 3 interview processes and landed a $94K remote US job + 2 weeks PTO. Here's what changed everything 👇 Pedro was stuck in the worst kind of loop. He had the skills but was applying without strategy. He questioned if he was "too old" to break into tech. Every rejection reinforced the doubt. The turning point wasn't learning more frameworks or grinding LeetCode. It was personalized mentorship that focused on simple fundamentals. With guidance from me and my technical mentor Ivan, the first 10 minutes of Pedro's interviews completely transformed. Interviewers stopped testing him and started getting to know him. His confidence shifted from hoping he'd make it to knowing exactly what to do. Pedro said something that hit me: "Knowing the path is not walking the path. Even if you gave me a course instead of the calls... it doesn't work the same. Having a mentor makes such a big difference." That's exactly what I experienced myself in the beginning of my career. The fastest path to get where you want is talking to a person that's been through it all and can just give you direction. 3 interview processes. 3 weeks. Passed every single one. ✅ Want to see exactly what Pedro did differently? I sat down with him to break down his entire journey - the mindset shifts, the preparation strategies, and the specific changes that made interviewers lean in instead of test him.
