Anyone here come from a QA/Test Automation background and switched to dev

How is it?

I decided to internally switch by the end of 2025, coming from a QA/test automation background. its been about 2.5 years now

In the meantime, I am trying to build a good foundation in JS and other transferable skills. and afterwards, React (which I dabbled in but it was a distraction from the fundamentals in retrospect)

Aware that application code can be a lot more complex (arguably over-engineered too lol)

I was originally going the dev route anyway.
