I remember an instructor of mine probably gave my class the life advice that will probably keep haunting me in my remaining two years in uni. In the class the day before our lab exam he basically ranted out what I guess we're justified issues he faced with our class(the class ranted about not getting test cases for the assignments). He then proceeded to explain for 1.5 hours why the kind of graduates we'll become we'll prolly be unemployed or doing 100$/month jobs at some shitty local software house. The whole gist of his rant was fuck your test cases, learn to code. But ever since that this thought has stuck with me, am I even good enough. I mean I don't think I'm that shit but my opinion is biased towards obviously considering myself to be above average.

    There are no "superior programmers", there are so much fields, specializations, platforms, languages, frameworks and applications that being an expert at one would take you a life time. A good programmer is the one who finds joy in learning and applying knowledge to problem solving.

    Yes most graduates won't have a fulfilling and successful career immediately, but that's not because they suck, it's because they don't have or they lost inquisitiveness and stopped improving.
