Reflection
Contributing to a project of this size, with extensive use of Git in a real-world production scenario, was completely new to me, but I've learned a lot! While I already had some experience with Next.js, GooseChef significantly strengthened those skills.
With the variety of new technologies, especially in the backend, I managed to delve deep into most of them, understanding their responsibilities, pros, and cons. Throughout the project, I worked on nearly every aspect, implementing new features from scratch and fixing a bunch of bugs.
In collaboration with my project team, I was able to leverage my existing skills and learn how to effectively work within a team, coordinating tasks in a manner similar to the Scrum methodology.
The only difficulties for me occurred in the chosen tech stack, which made some things more complicated than usual, mentioning the Auth.js Experimental Beta we've used, so getting into it was slightly harder than I thought. But luckily, we managed to find workarounds.
Nevertheless, GooseChef really empowered me, allowing me to utilize the newly learned things in private projects and helping me to make a huge step forward in my career.
