Overheard in Chingu

Hi Everyone! Iโ€™m working on some kind of program to defeat Impostor Syndrome for programmers and need some help with research. I need some volunteers who distress from Impostor Syndrome, I will credit your aid in the research if you want or you can entirely be anonymous.

I maintain that we all suck at it, itโ€™s supposed to be hard. Coding is thinking youโ€™re a hopeless idiot 90% of the time and a genius the other 10%.

Yea i was feeling down because I didnโ€™t know sucking at it was part of the job

I get the feeling when I canโ€™t solve something. Like in design reviews I couldnโ€™t find a flaw while rest of the team finds it and starts discussing. I watch some motivational songs and youtube videos to pump up my self esteem. Then I am fine for few days.

they are different foo && bar() will return a boolean true/false, foo ? bar() : null will return either bar() when foo is truthy or null when it is falsy

Coding Goals Make an awesome product with Chingu. And finish my masterโ€™s thesis.

which technologies would I use to create the infrastructure to have people log in to an app and it display content for that user? Iโ€™m trying to work on the Journal app and add that functionality now that I finished my Voyage. My guess is to connect Auth0 to a database and that would be it. Is that correct?

hey everyone, I submitted my solo project for v26, how can I know if I my project as good enough to join the cohort? thanks very much

Coding History I havenโ€™t been coding very long, off and on for close to a year. I know some Java, a bit of C++ and Swift, and am working on becoming proficient with HTML, CSS, and JS.

Strengths My strength is learning new technologies. I am driven to be better tomorrow than I am today.

After getting motivated by Rick Astley, I got cured
