    What if I told you… imposter syndrome is real and you’re probably a pretty good programmer. If you care enough to frequent this community on lemmy you’re probably in the top 25% at least.

      Man if you actually use proper http status codes instead of returning 200 to every single request no matter the outcome, you’re already better than a lot of “senior” developers. If you’ve written any amount of half-useful readmes or docs or even comments, you’re well above the average. If you’re aware that git has more than 3 commands, you’re well on your way to godhood.

        Did you inherit the same project I did?

        Did they also not use feature branches, API documentation, or any frontend framework, opting to create one based on jQuery instead?
