Hey everyone! I'm relatively new to development and trying to dive into React and Spring Boot while also juggling my role as a Salesforce admineloper. Lately, I've been dealing with a bit of imposter syndrome. There are times when I know I need to use specific Salesforce features, like platform events, but I can't seem to remember how to subscribe to them without checking the documentation each time. I can recall decorators in LWC and some HTML directives, but anything more complex just slips my mind. This issue also extends to TypeScript; while I'm fairly familiar with JavaScript syntax, adding type definitions is proving to be a real challenge for me. I might understand the general steps to achieve my goals, but I can't seem to retain the specific syntax or instructions I need. Am I missing something here?

"Admineloper" is a cool term! Your struggle is pretty common; Salesforce can be overwhelming due to its complexity. I've been in your shoes and found that keeping my code well-commented and linked to documentation really helped when I revisited it later. Sure, some folks may tease about too many comments, but they’re invaluable for helping your future self. Plus, setting realistic expectations with your coworkers can really alleviate some pressure. You've got this!
Great advice! I definitely tend to create giant files and then forget what I was thinking months later. I think I need to adopt this commentary strategy too, especially to set better expectations with others.
