I've been working as a developer for almost 4 years now and I still feel like I don't know a damn thing about computers. :/

Webdev I assume? :) that's why I prefer bkend... You gotta learn how the machinery works to implement reliable and performant solutions in back office

Take a break from work

Same here ,it's a struggle

@netikras haha yeah. I'm a web dev. my degree is actually in computer engineering but my first job was a web dev one and I fell in love with it. But man, barely a day goes by when I'm 100% sure about what I'm doing.

@noms89 do you mean a vacation or just making sure I get rest? Actually planning to take a week off at the end of november :D

@electrode no idea how other people do it. on a fun note, check this out, 404 haha

@sadProgrammer "Vacation" I recommend.
Means fuck world and go into the wild

@noms89 sounds like a great idea. ill make sure to make the best out of the time off im getting then

@gintko that's correct. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't webdev's main focus on presentation? If webdev's scope includes fe, be, dbms, infra architecture - isn't this called fullstack then? I could be wrong

@netikras Nah, presentation is a designers job. Imo Web development is everything that's developed to be delivered through a web server. Might be a simple website, might be a highly complicated system. If it's on the web, it's web development.

@Godisalie well these days pretty much everything is developed tbd via a web server, isn't it? :) and everything you do IT-ish is in order to deliver content to end user via web.. So.... Ui/ ux (view), fe server-side (presentation), integrations, dbms, services, infra, etc, etc - all these layers are making a content for web.. Does that mean I'm a webdev if I'm managing all this? Am I a webdev if I'm only implementing integrations? Services? If I'm only responsible for persisting, transforming data that will be sent out through web server? What dev is not a webdev then (except isolated desktop apps)?

Been in this field since 2007.

I can install stuffs and manage shits on any PCs or servers (thank you Google and DuckDuckGo).

But I am a complete noob at hardwares. I know the names of computer components. And that's all. Nothing after that.

I literally had to search online "what the heck is DPI" yesterday after buying a new mouse. :/

Make the most of that feeling. Once you've been doing it for 10 years you feel like you know even less, and it's steadily down hill from there.

On the other hand it's good, sees like you're learning a new thing every other day

@Hubot-0x58 Thanks for the suggestion. Getting into python because I've always found it interesting, and I'm also using my JS powers to get into learning the basics of games for the fun of it.

@nathanchere Aww man that is scary... :o I've got to learn to live with it then.

@arslan013 Well thats true. They do say that ignorance is bliss haha
