So sweet.
Myself should be your go-to answer here.
You already are a real developer if you like this job enough that you are willing to continue to practice and improve
Imposter syndrome is a lying bitch.
Self-love and self-compassion are far more effective.

Now unfortunately imposter syndrome is really widespread among devs, with no correlation whatsover with their actual level.
So when your co-worker do something cool, remember to tell him so explicitly.
External validation may mean the world for her.
The last line reminds me of this screenshot I took from a website.
That's right, and the most important thing is to realize you don't need to do anything in particular to become worthy, you already are, it's your birth right.
Imagine a little baby smiling and you will understand why.

The most supportive person ever!
It is surprisingly simple but hard question for me. Why? It is because I've already spent almost 2 years after my graduation working and learning as coder and the person who can think about me as a coder holistically is just me. I would not just think the highly of me but also the lowly of me. I don't think my college friend would catch up with I've been doing these past 2 years and just recall where I was from the last 2 years ago. Do you know what I'm saying? 🥺
Me, but only after I succeed at my assigned task. Up until that point I am the worst dev to ever walk the planet.
Be easy on yourself. Remember that there are people you don't even know who are rooting for you. ❤️
Thank you so much. ❤️
