I don't have the imposter syndrom. I'm a legit imposter.
That's exactly what someone with imposter syndrome would say
pirate software?
Well, yes. It is what happens when you are building on top of several abstraction layers. You have to pretend you know everything that is going on underneath, but the fact is that, without those libraries and frameworks we would have so much on our plate that we could not keep it all in our heads.
Gotta be honest, was sure the last panel was gonna say: “hate JavaScript”.
Nice to be surprised on this sub once in a while.
I ain't holdin hands with no stinkin' JavaScript dev!
"Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with frontend."
"What about side by side with a friend?"
"Do you even have friend functions?"
Friend functions are cursed though, outside of like c++ operator overloading.
When I joined my company, I asked a co-worker who joined a year earlier after freshly graduating how often she still has to ask questions. She said if you go a day without asking questions as a new person, she'd assume you had gone through a day without getting work done.
25 years into my career, and it’s still going strong baby!
This is a secret, but I actually don't really understand why people would pay me to do programming.
I'm not sure I'd even hire myself 😆

I lost when I realized how bad many of the more experienced programmers are
Amen to that lmao
It's actually hatred for PHP and JavaScript
True
Aids.
And when that imposter syndrome is gone, I feel like something is wrong, and I'm missing something.
I had it at some point, but I realized with the way things are now none of us can possibly be under-qualified
Great painters look to nature for inspiration.
Great devs look to stackoverflow.
We are the same.
Will we ever be as good as the old masters?
It's funny watching some people be like
"Akshually, i know the right way to do everything because I was told the one, all knowing truth and any other open-ended method with trade offs and pros/cons is wrong because it wasn't included when I was taught the one true way 🤓🤓🤓"
Some people cope with their insecurities by projecting it onto others to try and feel better about themselves, and it's the most insufferable thing ever
(Like at least half of php's community sadly)
This bug is called ‘imposter syndrome’, and it seems like we're all fixing it in team mode.
The simple fix is to never learn enough to know how much you don't know

The simple fix is
To never learn enough to
Know how much you don't know
Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.
I guess I can make normal haiku by removing 'The'
Simple fix is to never learn enough to know how much you don't know
You learn that by trying to do something.
Stop doing anything duh
