Avoid These PITFALLS That Are KILLING Junior Developers

Описание: Many junior developers unknowingly make a mistake that feels productive but actually kills long-term growth. 🚨Chasing every new framework, language, and trend might look smart—but in reality, it keeps you stuck at a surface level.

Here’s what’s really hurting junior developers today 👇
• 🧩 Knowing a little bit of everything makes you easy to replace, especially in the age of AI
• 🤖 Entry-level and surface-level work can already be done by tools like ChatGPT and others
• 🎯 Depth beats breadth—2–3 skills mastered deeply are far more valuable than 10 shallow ones
• 🔥 Real confidence comes from knowing you can handle any project, even unfamiliar ones
• 🛠️ It’s not about knowing everything—it’s about trusting your learning and problem-solving ability
• 📉 “Namesake” full-stack developers grow slower and get laid off faster
• 🚀 Master one domain first, become better than average, then expand

If you’re a junior developer and want real growth, job security, and confidence, this video will save you years of confusion. Drop your questions in the comments—I’ve been there, and I’m happy to help.
