Comment on I’m a really good impostor

Comments

I kind of feel the same way- I'm a year into learning Ruby and Rails right now and I know for a fact I don't "dream in code" the way other "natural programmers" seem to. But I'm friendly as fuck and work my ass off, and can usually google or Stack Overflow my way out of a situation, and I'm picking up the Ruby and Rails as I go. Still hoping to get a job as a Jr Rails dev somewhere and pass the technical test but fuck it. Not gunna lose sleep over it.

I think there's some amount of aptitude, but mostly it's just applying effort over time. Keep going.
