As a programmer, I have been following Midudev's content for years. He is one of my tech references (Spanish) and I have learned a lot from him.
During the talk at BettaTech's The Commit Show, Midu talks about many topics related to technology and programming in general. He discusses who he is, his experience, and his perspective on the current and future state of the development world.
One of the most relevant topics discussed in this talk is that when a programmer is looking to enter the market for the first time (or the first few times), it is very important to join a company that offers mentorship. This means having someone who can guide you through the process, which is one of the most educational aspects. In fact, he defines that 'It's much more important than the salary at the beginning.'
While it is true that the lack of a mentor can lead a programmer to develop self-sufficiency, in some cases, this tends to become a mental burden that affects health and, in the end, is not worth it.
The talk covers other important topics to consider in the development world, such as salaries and perhaps most importantly, what it means to be a senior developer.
In my opinion, it is a highly recommended talk that provides a broad view of the programming environment.
