**first, I apologize for my English level. I know I have to improve a lot. 😅

Hello everyone. I'm a newbie into software development. I started learning by YouTube courses, udemy, coursera, official documentation and so on. And I remember a few months ago where I pass from felling that I was a software guru to "Damm, I'm so dumb" and is strange because when I learnt new stuffs I thought that I have to learn a lot more for get that "I know stufs" feeling.

I want to ask you, how do you pass that line of "impostor syndrome" and where you find out you were in that place? 🤔

Because I think I'm stopping myself and I don't have enough confidence for start looking for a better job.

Any advice is gold for me. Thanks 😅

I wish there were an easy answer but just keep going at it and maybe keep track of all the things you've learned, so you can review it when feeling discouraged.

Be Confidence. Don't lose your hope. Learn new stuffs, Lear new coding language.
You have a great skill. Don't be like - I am not that good, I am bad at this. Be confident and code. You have your own skills. Even I was so bad at coding, but didn't lose hope. Now I make websites easily. YOU CAN DO IT BRO.
