We all feel this way from time to time. I’ve been writing software for ten years and I still feel like an imposter. I feel like someone will find out I don’t know what I’m doing and I don’t have all the answers.

It’s normal. You’re early in your career. The big thing to realize is that googling is your best asset. People have done this before or asked questions about how to do it on Stack Overflow.

Just keep learning. If you’re like me, you won’t have a specialty. You’ll know a little front end, a little backend, a little bit of design and photoshop, a little bit of devops. It takes time to learn and be proficient. Lean on the more senior engineers on your team. Ask them to start a weekly lunch and learn.

You’re on a journey, not a sprint. It takes time, but you’re gonna be okay. Don’t panic. Just keep learning and growing.
