Assessments not great (lemmy.world)

I don't do well during interview assessments.

I'm slow and rusty.

Should I give up on trying to be a developer?

it just doesn't happen naturally for me. I was doing a Codewars assessment and I was really slow at the start to even remember syntax or how to start. Granted, I haven't coded in a while. The bad thing is, I forgot what type of position I was applying for so I didn't know what the assessment would be.

Well, you just identified your shortcomings. What are you going to do to fix that? Remembering things is rough for everyone. Just get some practice, make sure you prepare for your interviews, and nail the next one.

Don't get rusty. Start a list of personal projects, and get practice doing those. I'm always working on QoL stuff for my home.

I should probably be a system administator.
