hbag posted:i don't there's this th white quote from once and future king that has stuck with me my entire life and has really helped me out in some bad places. quote:“The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.”

hbag posted:it's all the time This has a name and it’s called imposter syndrome. Everyone goes through it and sometimes it never really leaves you, even experienced hands that are starting a new job. This probably doesn’t sound like good advice, and you’re not particularly good at taking advice anyway, but just keep at it and you’ll push through eventually. It will get easier. The only tangible suggestion i can give you is to not be afraid to ask for help even if you’re terrified that your peers are going to point at you like in They Live and shriek that you don’t belong here (that won’t happen).

Maybe they’re not explaining it well enough. Try to get them to lower the technical level first. It should be a back and forth, not you listening quietly and just not getting it. If that still doesn’t work, then get someone to pair with you. It’s exhausting but it’s gold for junior devs to learn from hearing and seeing. As a last resort ask your dad for a task that’s more in your range and that you’re not quite ready for this serializer shenanigan

legit, hbag, ask someone to start it for you or even just do it. no harm is saying you havent' learned this yet. and once it's done make sure you study the code and understand it. or just google it in whatever language you're writing lol

hbag posted:he's going to loving try and comfort me and it's going to make it worse another once and future king quote quote:Merlyn turned round and looked closely at the boy through his spectacles. “What is the matter now?” he enquired nastily. His inspection had shown him that his pupil was trying not to cry, and if he spoke in a kind voice he would break down and do it. “I shall not be a knight,” replied the Wart coldly. Merlyn’s trick had worked and he no longer wanted to weep: he wanted to kick Merlyn. “I shall not be a knight because I am not a proper son of Sir Ector’s. They will knight Kay, and I shall be his squire.” Merlyn’s back was turned again, but his eyes were bright behind his spectacles. “Too bad,” he said, without commiseration.
