Complete understand this, the issue is that I feel like the will of learning all the technologies I want to and then with work too I relay heavily on documentation and stackoverflow. I feel like my code does not flow from just myself. I know that when I take a particular set of code to learn and understand it before its use, but I feel like I then recall to it as I tend to forget in the end as I don't use it particularly very much. Now with this said I am not expecting to be able to write code like i'm a book but write more proficient code yes. In some way I feel like I never learned the fundamentals 100% and I feel like this is what I need to revisit now. Thanks for the advise!
Yep absolutely, and understand where you are coming from. That will come, give yourself some time and patience. And don't worry so much about the code flowing from you. The best developers I've ever known are built by experience, and search engines, and docs are the foundation of everything. With the way things like even python evolve, no one can do this stuff without the docs, and everyone runs into something that they have to lookup. For example, I once knew someone who was what I would consider an expert in terraform. Worked in a it for years, spent 50+ hours a week working in Terraform, and built truly amazing implementations for a massive cloud solution. If you opened up his browser window the entire bookmark toolbar was nothing but links to references in the terraform docs. The best senior devs are focused on business outcomes and not where the code comes from. But the fact that you are this passionate means you will get there, but don't beat yourself up too much.
Yeah I’ve heard that before I guess its not about knowing everything there is to know about the language but more the fact of being able to understand the problem at hand and find the solution for it. Its what I mostly do so I guess I’m on the correct track just need to give it time to sync in and to eventually understand the full picture. I appreciate you time!
