Recently graduated, got hired to maintain a real social network project alone, feeling overwhelmed and needing advice
Hey guys, I’m 21 years old and I recently graduated in Software Development Somehow I got really lucky and was hired to work on app and website projects for a company.
The thing is one of the projects is already a functional social network with real users and right now I’m basically the only developer working on it
My first goal is simply understanding the existing codebase but I honestly don’t even know the best way to start yet especially because the notebook uses Linux and I’ve barely worked with Linux before
I’m feeling excited but also overwhelmed
Do you guys have advice on how to start understanding a large existing project how to organize my thoughts while exploring the code what should I look at first and tips for working on Linux as a beginner developer
I’d really appreciate honest advice from more experienced developers
