"Remember that code is a just a tool you use to get your job done"
Someone else said the above in the comments. They are absolutely correct. It took me a long time to realize this. I am all the better for it now.
You also mentioned feeling like you are never ready and then not applying for those jobs. I am currently battling that. Trying to get ready enough to apply for a particular job but always feeling like I am not. Thank you for such a beautiful piece.
I have now been at my first dev job for a year and I still feel like i'm not ready most days. I'm not sure that feeling ever goes away. But then I get a task and I either make it work, or I struggle - and both are fine. It's always going to be that way throughout your career.
Learning to navigate those emotions is one of the more important skills I've been working on.
