I am a self-taught developer from Argentina currently living in Spain. I am passionate about improving my technical skills and helping others do the same.
I agree, in reality nobody creates perfect software, all development is about doing the best you can with the constraints you have. Still that does not prevent you from doing the best job that you can. I didn't say you should be perfect, I say that you should bring your A game. Achieving this process is about succeeding with the actions you take, not the results you produce. Even behaving 100 % correct, the software can still suck and the company can go down. That is not the point
I kinda agree. People should always try their best. In the end it probably won't matter that much, since a lot of people work on the project and some probably underperform.
Imo this is a dangerous topic. Imposter syndrome is already mentioned. I don't really think that it is possible to always bring up your A game. This can easily turn into burnout and frustration (because some people are working below your standards which will influence the final product).
If you work with people who always give their best you will also work better...and if you work with people who underperform there is a high chance you'll also underperform (because you don't get rewarded for working better, you don't earn more, your working ethos does not influence others etc...).
I think you are professional if you realize you have to leave the current job for your own good.
Disagree with the first paragraph - and the author disagrees too. If you behave like a professional, others will soon follow and the processes will improve. Seen it happen many times.
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.
