You have to get over your shyness when it comes to showcasing your dev skills. It is important that you showcase your work because it helps you grow your skills and get recognition. Getting feedback, good and bad, will let you know what you need to improve on. Whether you work as a freelancer or work at a company, you're going to have to show your work so why not get your feet wet now?

Trust me, I know what it feels like to present your work and the fear of having it ripped to shreds but critiques but it's an unfortunate part of any kind of work honestly.

Join a Coding Community Where You Can Share Your Projects

One community that I am a part of and I know is active and has a very positive community is iCodeThis. iCodeThis is a platform where you can partake in daily coding challenges. The challenges range from very easy to very challenging so they have someone for every developer. They also have an active Discord server where you can share your coding projects, both daily challenges and your own custom projects.

How to Talk About Your Project

When posting your project on social media or presenting in person, it's important to tell what it is.
