Today officially concludes the first week of my new job. I know it’s only Thursday, but I started last week on Thursday, so technically it’s been a...

Congrats for the job and don´t worry too much about been unproductive.
Is always the same with a new job. Nobody expects you to be productive the first week (or even the first month).
A couple of tips that may help you.
Read the already existing code. Take notes and try to learn how it works. If you have doubts, talk to the people and ask for help.
People usually don´t care explaining things to the new people if they see you have tried hard to understand.
It´s also important to choose the right moment to talk. If someone is busy, ask him/her when can you talk with them.
Example:
Hey Jim, i´ve been studying the code in the payments class and there are a couple of things i don´t get. Can i ask you a couple of questions when you have a few minutes?.
After a few weeks you will be able to be do more and more and in a couple of years you will be the one on the other side when someone new joins.
This is great advice. Thank you
Interesting 👏👏 well started Anya

:) keep growing
Great post
Thanks!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Best of luck!
Thanks 🙂
Thanks, I’m glad you liked it!
This is relatable.
It took me around 1.5 weeks to get the codebase running locally at my first job.
PS : The issue was corrupt SQL dumps
🤦🏽♀️
Give some tips to get Motivated to do the coding.
I'm at my First Dev job and i feel like i'm a Imposter so what should i do to avoid that..?
Don´t be too hard with your self.
I´ve been coding for 8 years and still feel the same some days. At the end of the day everyone goes to stackoverflow when we have doubts.
You don´t need to know every class. No one knows it. You have to take the time and effort to understand how the thinks work and learn how to resolve the problems.
Once you start to understand how the thinks work, start using what you learnt.
Copy code and modify it to add new functionality. Do that 5 times and it will stick with you. That´s how you learn, by practicing. The more you learn, the less you will feel as an imporster.
Your motivation. Don´t know. Earning money, feeding your kids, learning new things, becaming Neo.
Everyone has a different one. You have to choose yours.
Are you Java Developer.?
I'm new to java...
It's a total change for me...
so it has hard to change language..
do u have any effective way to study without unmotivated..
coz sometimes when i study i've been get demotivated like some error show up and i don't know what to do then i skip them..
so whats your thoughts about that any tips..?
To learn a new lenguage.
Watch tutorials in youtube or any course in udemy or similar website. Don´t just look, build the same thing they are building in the course.
After that, start making small modifications in the code to learn how it works.
If something fails the best place to find help is stackoverflow.com.
Usually you don´t even need to go there, just copy/paste the error in google and google will send you to the answers to that problem there.
Don´t just ask. Say what you have tried, write your code and take your time to make it easy for people to help you. Saying thanks after someone has tried to help you is a superpower.
About motivation. That depends on you. Find a goal for you in 1 year. Find a goal to 5 years and work toward them.
Do you want to work and earn money? Do you want to become the next Elon Musk? Do you want to have kids and take care of them?
Find a goal, print it and place it in front of you so everytime you raise your head from the computer you can see your goal.
Good luck. I think you can do amazing things. Just need to find your goal and go for it.
I hope the best for you my dear.
