I'm at a pretty cool company today, learning new stack now. Everyone is helpfull and teaches me a lot.

I remember at my first job, when I just started, my boss sent me a MINIFIED .js file (just one file and nothing else) and said "it doesnt work, please fix this". After OBVIOUSLY not being able to fix it, at that moment, I started to doubt my choice to become a web dev.

I turned out to be pretty okay. But, fucking hell, thinking back, that "ex-boss" of mine could potentially influence my later career decisions and not in a good way.

    Yeah, I know that feeling pretty well. Especially when we're beginners, that kind of stuff is a big blow to our self esteem.

    You might want to try something I learned: Instead of saying "I can't do this", ask yourself "What would I need to make this possible" and then go asking for that. Sometimes, you will succeed this way.
