I'm currently learning programming and have a solid grasp of the basics, especially in object-oriented programming—like understanding classes, methods, and properties. I'm also familiar with how libraries function and how to integrate them, but I haven't had much real-world experience. I can write and understand code and enjoy solving problems, yet I often feel underqualified to apply for programming jobs. Is it acceptable to apply if I'm still learning? How much did others know before their first tech interview? I would love to hear others' experiences and what helped them before applying for jobs.

In today’s job market, it’s about what you've done rather than just what you know. Employers prefer candidates with existing project experience, but it's worth applying to see if you're ready. Have you tried building any small projects? That could help boost your confidence.
You might not need to know everything before landing a job, but you should definitely be comfortable with solving problems. Programming is just one part of development, so focus on how to tackle issues and common interview questions to prepare yourself.
