Typical gaps in IT: basics, structure, practice, and explaining

Often you’re not rejected because you’re “not technical,” but because of common gaps.

What repeats

1. Basics — frameworks without understanding networks, APIs, databases, GET vs POST, what happens when you open a site.

2. No coherent picture — a little of everything, but you can’t explain how it fits together.

3. Not enough practice — courses don’t replace shipping and walking through your own project.

4. Fear of “I don’t know” — smart words instead of truth; experienced interviewers notice fast.

5. Can’t explain — even with knowledge, you need a clear story: what you did, why, what changed.

Good news

Most gaps close with honest self-review and narrow practice — not years of random study.

For MVP buyers: evaluate demos and explanations, not only a vendor’s buzzword list.
