@Codex404 I know time doesn't matter that much, its just most job listings I see say 5+ years experience and I'd prefer not to lie. Also as I've written code almost every day since, working on a variety of projects, I think it should atleast count to some level of experience.

@LavaTheif personally Ive only once seen a x+ year experience job posting. I think it was 12+, i was out of school for not even a year . (I started programming when I was 12, I was 20 back then). They hired me even though I didnt have a high enough education, didnt have enough experience and was really young.
They were really happy with me. So indeed dont lie, but be honest to them and to yourself.
Would I be able to help this company? I dont have enough experience but Im a quick learner, know the language thats why they hired me. -
@Codex404 thanks for the advice, Ill keep it in mind when Im applying for jobs
So, eventually they understood a lot of SO users are assholes. 😁

Okay. So. I was fixing my laptop (the screen was broken) and I decided to just boot it normally rather than into linux with my USB just to test it.
Once it booted up I thought "you know what would be funny, if I decided to look at my crappy first ever programs", so I fired up eclipse and looked at them. Spoiler alert: it was really bad.
I then decided to go to my first proper project where I didnt follow a tutorial for it like I had with most bigger things up to this point. This was when I remembered that all the files had a last modified date.
I decided to go back to my first projects folder to see when I made it. Turns out it was 6 months before I thought I had started coding.
Awsome! I have 6 months extra experience.
Turns out this means in 2 years, 3 months I'll have 5 years experience, which is about half a year after I finish college.
First of all, it does not seem like almost 3 years already
Second, I cant believe how soon after finishing college I will reach 5 years. I thought it would be *atleast* a year.
