> Again, thank you so much for taking the time to review my code. I really enjoyed your feedback.
Whatever you do, hold on to that. Never be mad about feedback just try your best to understand it, and if it's wrong explain yourself without getting frustrated, this is worth more than a dozen senior developers who explode at feedback (I would argue they're junior developers :) and you will have a wonderful career. Also look for good mentors, and don't be afraid to ask questions about direct feedback, if you didn't understand something he said just ask (this becomes an immediate learning opportunity and you will be better off for it), even if he doesn't get to answer, someone else might. This is a field where learning is endless, you will always learn something new as a software developer, new platforms are made all the time to be programmed on / with.
Having soft skills[0] will be the biggest asset you can have as a software developer, whether you do it for money or just for fun, if you have to collaborate in the open you will need to communicate with others. Nothing breaks a team like terrible communication and someone who rejects feedback out of pride.
