Ive been interested in computers for 4 years or so. And I love computer science concepts and free software. I know design difference between X11 and Wayland protocols, garbage collectors and other random facts i remembered.
But i have never done any serious programming. Only some little attempts at python, godot, c++, kotlin and so on. Idk why but when i have to do the actual programming i just dont know how, documentation feels unclear and those youtube programming courses also do not ensentivize it.
If someone here had similar problem, how did you solve it?
The difference between a senior and a junior is how long it takes before you feel embarrassed of your code.
Once someone is no longer embarrassed by their code, but can explain it in terms of compromises necessary to get a project to completion on time and within budget, and what they wanted to do at the time but circumstances didn’t allow — I’d say that person is ready for a team/tech lead position.
That’s true. These days I don’t feel embarrassed but I hadn’t noticed that that had even happened.
