I originally posted this post on my blog.
These days, I found a post claiming you're not a senior software engineer until you work on a legacy ...

Ha ha ha... I've had a very good time reading this post. It seems I'm a senior programmer, after all.
I bet you are. The more boxes you check, the more senior you are :D
Something that new vibe coders won’t understand :)
I’ve always believed that most of coding is about not giving up when we are stuck.
LOL
Agree. The struggle is part of the process too.
.. until you've programmed
Good point! 😂
Good thread! A few more:
I check all of them. 😂 Good additions!
_ha ha ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Glad I could help. Happy coding!
You have my gratitudes and Thank you Cesar 🫡. Always been solo as an introvert without guidence, super happy to be part of the community. Looking forward to find a mentor and my gang ✌️🤝
Hey I wrote this the other day:
New Developers Looking for a Mentor: Here's a (Free) Mentorship Session in 8 Lessons
Cesar Aguirre ・ Jul 22 '24
Hope it helps.
You are like my magic Wand. 🫶
"From me 13" and "Update 6" are the only two I don't meet. Does that mean I've got a way to go before becoming a full programmer?
My suggestions:
Yes...ajajajja
Scanning ports, listing files in a folder...
Or it's about clock out time and you know the answer....ajajjajajajaja
You have used the following git command at least once in your life time 😂
git push --force --all
or a
git reset --hardor delete your local repo and clone it again 😂This post totally captures the journey of becoming a programmer, really relatable! 😄
Until you write a program that you actually use daily!
This is indeed what a programmer should do, hahahaha
Command line scripts count? :)
If over 20 lines! 😃 I used to have a shell script that was over 1,000 lines before moving to C.
..until you've said. "Well, it works in Dev"
"I works on my stack. Your stack is wrong!"
That's a good one! Works in Dev™
You're not a programmer until:
How about when you write the program that downloads code to an external processor (I did for a DSP chip) and step through it in the debugger part of the program. My boss wanted it done in two weeks!
Oh boy! You get a task assigned today and it was due to yesterday!
Oh! I've never done that...I guess I'm not a true programmer yet :)
You're not a programmer until you've spent over a year debating which programming language is better, instead of actually learning it.
"Java is better than C#...no Python is better than all of them...Wait, Rust is the best" :)
Ooohhh! That's a good one! :D
Nowadays, "you wrote a complete function using AI and not reviewing its implementation."
That's a good addition for these days of AI :)
For sure.
Until you delete a comment line and your component stops working.
Or until you are stuck in a bug for a few hours, you call a senior to help you, and your code suddenly works.
🤣🤣🤣Been there and done that!
🤣🤣🤣
"Well, it works in on my machine"
i would like to add one
"you have to think 2 min to give a related name to a variable and at the end you write temp"
it was fun reading.
Oh yes! Variable names...
hahaha. something is missing, using chatgpt to fix the bug
I feel now I am a software enginer, ha ha ha
Good one XD
saw myself in there many times
The more boxes you check, the more senior you are :)
Ha ha ha... Now I know I am a programmer, in fact a senior programmer
Dang, I think I missed doing a few of these. I must try harder, LOL. Entertaining, thanks.
Glad you liked it. I missed a couple too. Must try harder :D
Inverted a binary tree
Hmm... Sounds great.
nah this post is spot on lol ...
Having wrote this once in a bash script
rm -rf "/"${mypath}
When $mypath is empty :)
:O
Wow
Hahahahaha! That's it!
It's been more than 2 years of me learning and writing codes and it feels like I did almost all of them.
You're in the right direction, then :)
add: You feel stupid by constantly trying to learn new things that you do not know the jargon or maybe the flow of whats happening deep down... :))
Oh yes, I know that feeling...I remember reading about lots of new things without know what they were truly about, just saying "hey that seems cool"
I'm in this article and I don't like it ;-)
You're not a programmer until you wish you were dead but don't stop doing it
Hello everyone
