I am a FrontEnd Developer. My passions include creating beautiful and accessible applications, researching the latest coding practices, frameworks, and design libraries, and developing workflow tools.
Thanks for your post! The funny thing is I feel the same way because I still feel most comfortable using Backbone.js, npm, and gulp.js - all relatively new tools/libraries (although several of these seem to be considered “ancient technologies” by some). I am a self-taught developer/designer as well. I had played around with HTML in 1997 but really didn’t fall in love with it until 2011 when I discovered JavaScript and realized I could make fully interactive art/websites. I wonder if this specific type of “imposter syndrome” is inherent to self-taught developers who view programming as a means to an end? Just a thought. Thanks again for sharing!
