I was thinking I had imposter syndrome, but it says self doubt in one’s abilities compared to others, despite evidence to support the contrary. There is no evidence to show I am competent in my craft, as in not as less competent than I really am. But as for the brain fuck interpreter I’ve already done it, it’s about 95% complete and I did it in rust. It’s just part of it was not programmed the way it should have been so I now need to do the entire thing over and that really upset me. I also can’t solve anything without going to friends on discord or people in discord servers to get help when I’m stuck. I could never have done any of this without constant help and feedback. If you left me by myself I’m useless. Also what are the other tech roles I could do that aren’t porgramming? Honestly I just want to make a decent wage and live a modest life, atleast that’s my plan now that I realize my initial goals are out of reach / unrealistic.

Most corporate software development is done in teams, and the primary limiting factor is not individual competence, but the ability to work well with others. It sounds like you will do just fine.

Rust? Brainfuck? You’re a junior?

Dude, just keep going. It’s like you’re saying you’re bumbed because you’re having trouble getting your jet pack to work and propulsion theory is confusing for you.

See things through, that is the distinguishing characteristic of a competent programmer in the real world.
