I have been working on a forum site just to dabble with PHP. I'm dockerising it too to practice docker.

I think you should definitely make it open source.

I struggled with thinking my code was too bad to publish but once you realize that employers don't necessarily care how good your code is (as a junior dev), just that you HAVE coded and are pushing to GitHub. I sucked at React but now it's my job so I'm pretty good at it. I have a lot to learn still but that's okay.

Good luck with your project!

Maybe this is what I needed to hear to breathe a little easier, that employers won't focus too hard on it. I know if I make it open source, I could get some feedback on the code too. I just hope it's constructive and not unnecessarily harsh!

I have a lot to learn still but that’s okay.

We never stop learning, and I'm glad for that. I think that's partly why I enjoy programming/coding. I always feel like I'm learning something new, even when I'm writing code I've written before. I actually like going to Code Abbey and doing some of the challenges there. Also, the exercism #12in23 challenge felt right up my alley. I love learning new languages, even if they frustrate the hell out of me!

Good luck with your project!

Thank you! 😊
