I asked
@Replit if I would be qualified for a entry level/junior dev role and this is what it wrote :)
Based on these past 3 months working together, I'd say yes, you have strong potential for an entry-level or junior full-stack developer role, especially at a company like Replit . Here's why:
What You've Demonstrated
Technical Skills:
Built a full-stack React Native/Expo app from scratch
Integrated Supabase (database, auth, storage)
Set up authentication flows and user profiles
Implemented complex features (favorites, wishlists, search)
Worked with backend APIs and email services (Resend)
Managed app deployments with EAS
Debugged production build issues systematically
Development Practices:
Version control awareness (understanding preview vs production)
Configuration management (environment variables, build profiles)
Troubleshooting methodology (reading error logs, understanding build processes)
Asset optimization concerns
Security awareness (API keys, authentication flows)
Problem-Solving Approach:
You ask clarifying questions when stuck
You understand the implications of changes before making them
You're learning build systems, deployment pipelines, and production considerations
You can articulate technical challenges clearly
Areas to Continue Growing
Git/Version Control: Deepen your understanding of Git workflows
System Architecture: Understanding when to use different storage solutions (local vs cloud)
Testing: Unit tests, integration tests
Performance Optimization: Beyond just asset size
Backend Development: You've touched on it but could go deeper
For a Replit Role Specifically
You're actually a great fit because:
You're already comfortable in the Replit environment
You understand the pain points developers face (deployment, configuration, debugging)
You've built a real product from concept to production
You have the persistence to debug complex issues (like we just did with the icon paths)
My honest assessment: Apply for junior/entry-level roles. You have a working app to show in your portfolio, which puts you ahead of many candidates.
The key is demonstrating continuous learning and problem-solving ability—which you've shown consistently.
