I am a horrible programmer

  • I write a lot of bugs
  • I forget to write tests
  • I take too long to solve simple tasks
  • I cant solve basic problems or coding challenges
  • I struggle with reading docs
  • I cant function like a normal person

Man years and thousands of hours in and I failed just like everything else in my life.

Hi @mProgrammer. Gee, I identify with this post in that I often think X is connected with Y. But just because you have your bullet list doesn’t make you a horrible programmer - in my opinion it just makes you human!

That being said, I know how it is when you’re feeling the lowest of the low. Do you have a support system you can discuss these things with?

You are just describing many things that programmers do , depends to whom you compare to . Just don´t be to hard with yourself and try to enjoy the little things in coding. Don´t try to be the nerd hollywood stereotype .

Kind regards

I also have same issue, i felt that i’m no better than anybody. felt worse even some people said that I already did good. I’m having hard time understanding whole OOP.
