First work as a programmer

Hi all,

So, I have worked in. iT for years as a Linux Administrator. Recently I got a position as a developer. I have been always good for coding and during all these years I have automated and created several tools in several languages ( java, Golang, web apps ). The problem I am facing now is that I have been included in a development team and I feel that is overwhelmingly more complex that any coding activity I have done in the past.( Mobile apps on Swift )

I have learnt the language very well in the last weeks and and I feel confident with it but it looks like I don't know where to begin with.

We are currently starting a new project and I would like to contribute but although I know I can make things work, I guess that my code won't be "compliant" with what my leaders expect.

To clarify even more, I can create a login screen and make it functional, but will my code be what they are expecting?

I feel totally lost and depressed. This is my first job as a developer and it has been a boomer until now.

If someone can offer any advice for a newbie, that would be immensely appreciated.

this is a somehow normal feeling - i usually encourage new developers in my team to ask proactively for code reviews while i also assign a 'mentor'-type developer to that colleague (and of course give the 'mentor' time to be able to support). Best thing i see when i come into the rooms is when they sit together and do pair programming - then they talk about the code and even the actual problem/case they have to solve and each of them is learning things along this way. programming/developing is not that much about learning to code - which is just similar to learn how to write or read - it is about experience and best practices. People learn from each other - and thats how it works out for us here.
