Great article! I’ve been having the same feelings at my work, to the point where I feel a pit of dread in my stomach when it comes to asking for a code review because I’m... preemptively embarrassed? ... by how bad I think it is 😅
The more I do, though, the more I see that my mistakes are generally minor and are more reflective of my unfamiliarity with our codebase than a lack of programming knowledge or ability. It’s still uncomfortable, but the only way out is through 🙌
I empower people to become software developers, especially those with kids/family responsibilities, full-time jobs, or who feel too old to start over. 🥰👩🏽💻
