Some of the best developers i have worked with were not from STEM backgrounds. Some of the worst developers I have worked with held bachelors or masters from a STEM field. In my opinion, the best developers have traits that go beyond the ability to code and think logically.
Addtionally, should you determine that coding is not for you, some of the best designers I have worked with were previous developers. They fully understand the scopes of development, limitations, time constraints, and more.
Keeping track of your progress is a great idea, something I wish i would've done 5 years ago. It's easy to compare yourself to masters of the field, but hard to recognize how far you've come.
You're so right! I always compare myself to the more advanced students in my cohort, not realizing how far I've come in just the last 3 months.
I always remind myself that back in December I didn't know how to write a regular function and now I am using arrow functions in almost everything I'm building, and that I can read a block of code and understand what it's doing... can I write it myself? not really, but I can understand it, haha!
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
