Learn unit testing, as it's pretty much a must for most jobs nowadays. Unit testing is essentially going through and isolating your functions from external dependencies and testing that they are doing what you want them to do. The art of unit testing with examples in C# by roy osherove is a nice read if you want to learn about it

Pretty crazy how most of us came in here without jobs in the industry and are now progressing

For the jobs I have been at, everything has been casual, including the dress and the hours. Literally the most freedom I've experienced at a job. Freedom to the point that things felt weird to me.

It's dumbfounding how people will want you to build something for a system you have next to no knowledge of, give you the vaguest requirements they can, then get upset when you're struggling to deliver :guccby: . Like dude you don't even know what you're asking for or how it could even be accomplished.

do you think I should focus on Web Application development instead of pure mobile? I just want some items in a portfolio and be well rounded form a skillset perspective. Product Management is more my thing than being a dev.

Web development is definitely preferable to mobile imo since you can do things like react native that creates native apps based off of web technology. Beautiful thing is that you can use one code base to make both apple and android apps... you can also use that codebase to make desktop apps with electron. On the other hand, if you wanted to use the native language, you'd have to do something like Java, or now Kotlin for android and then swift for apple.
