Great post, I totally agree about developer just being a word and the bar being imaginary, probably more important to ourselves than anyone else. I suppose the developer badge is in some ways both a blessing and a curse, it's always nice to feel part of a community, but it's also all too easy to get caught up in chasing a nebulous metric of success or self-worth.

Man this post has made feel like I belong again, sometimes I just wonder if my cs degree is a fraud cause I Google too much 😅😅😅
Hah. I don't think anyone should ever feel bad for having to Google something.
We all have our "likes", "hearts", "stars", etc to chase! Lol. Remembering that those things don't mean much, in the end, is key.
Anyway, if we enjoy writing code, does it matter what we're called? I don't think so.
