just realized I've been programming for 15 years as of this year and still kinda wish my self-perception of my abilities aligned better with the abilities I expect of someone with that level of experience heh.
so, like, I know I'm not a _terrible_ programmer. But am I really doing/able to do work that is proportionate to someone with 15 years of experience? I don't know about that.
@zkat for what it's worth, hearing from ppl like you who have been at this longer and still feel that same way is definitely reassuring to those of us with less experience.
