Im a student programmer pretending to know his shit and earlier today I was coding javascript and man I thought I know that language already. Turns out I dont know shit and it had me searching how tos on google. Bless that search engine though for giving me results I didnt even know that I need. Lesson of the day, just continue pretending shit cause ya gotta live life.

PS sorry for those passionate about programming, I am not worthy.

PPS I actually believe I can do better I am just a lazy ass piece of shit who's still contemplating whether I should be really all doing this shit

PPSS I need motivation help

    Welcome to devRant. Hang in there. We were all where you are one day in the past. If you work hard and improve your skills someday you will become a master coder. Ask a lot of questions. Good luck.

    Hit Stackoverflow, ask questions, make lots of programs and basically fake it till you make it. Have faith!

    As Jeff Atwood once wrote: everything we (software devs) write sucks. The goal is to have everything you write suck less than the last thing you wrote.

    One of my favorite things about being a software developer is that there's so much to learn, and things change so rapidly that you'll always hit points where you don't "know shit". If ever hit a point where i feel like i know everything (spoiler: I wont), it would mean there'd be no excitement left in my profession. Each time you tackle those challenges you will no doubt improve and become a stronger developer, and be one step closer to the next big breakthrough!

    That being said, programming isn't for everyone. Lots of people can do it, but not everyone cares enough to [attempt to] master the craft. You need to be honest with yourself about the degree you're willing to commit. If you're not motivated right now because it's hard, but you think you have a passion, suck it up, embrace the challenge, and you will succeed.

    If you're not motivated because you'd rather be doing something else, then do that! You will be much happier if you're doing what you truly love to do!
