Hey hey! I've met people who match the description in your post, and over time they've rocketed to success. Coding is not as important to a product's success as people make it to be. If you think you're good at coding, the furthest you'll go is architect or principal developer. I'm not saying this to reframe or control the narrative. I'm saying this because of fact. Some people are simply inevitable. Others?

Copycats are better off learning how to invest in themselves through introspection. You know the saying that goes "Every time you point a finger at someone else, there are three pointing back in your own direction"? Because character is destiny, the best an imitator can do is desperately say things as if uttering the magic words will achieve anything.

FYI, 'if' is a conjunctive adverb, which doesn't require a preceding comma since it's not a coordinating conjunction. Improving the way you write will improve your thinking process :) As the poster says, "Hang in there, kitty!".
