I originally posted this post on my blog.     These days, I found a post claiming you're not a senior... Tagged with watercooler, discuss, programming, jokes.

Dev.to is a community platform for developers, offering resources, discussions, and networking opportunities to empower individuals in their coding journey. Developers can learn new programming languages, frameworks, and tools, engage in discussions on best practices, and share their experiences with fellow developers to enhance their skills and grow their professional network.

A humorous post exploring when one can consider themselves a programmer, listing typical experiences shared by many in the field, such as writing a to-do app, googling solutions, and dealing with tricky code issues. The post gathers insights from the author, friends, ex-coworkers, and comments, highlighting relatable scenarios that resonate with programmers at various stages of their careers.

You're Not a Programmer Until...

<ol>
<li>
You receive a ticket, saying some feature just stopped working. You do your thing, and find an obvious critical bug that’s been there for 3 years. You have no idea how it could have worked until now.
</li>
<li>
You’re dealing with some absolute dog shit code. You check git-blame to see what kind of idiot wrote it. It was you.
</li>
</ol>

Releasing an update, 5 minutes before you clock out, definetly makes you a programmer XD

“You google how to center a div” 🤣 … classic 😏

You’re not a programmer until… you’ve programmed.

Oh no, after reading the post, I see that I’m not yet a programmer but a trying-hard imposter; Anyway, I enjoyed reading it and it brought back many funny and lesson-ful memories; Thank you for this post;
