At what point can I claim to not be a script kiddie anymore?

Like, I've built compilers, and interpreters for an excel-like syntax, I refactored a pdf-parsing library from the ground up. I managed databases and wrote protocols for communicating with hardware.

But most of my experience is with python / nodejs / golang. It is only recently that I started playing with C and rust for actual efficient system code.

    If you've done all of that I don't think you're a script kiddie anymore tbh

    Any one of the things you listed would be enough to qualify you as a real programmer even without the rest.

    Heck, a "script kiddie" is actually someone who entirely uses other people's scripts rather than writing their own.

    @EmberQuill I thought it was a person who uses high level languages and only kinda knows what they are doing. I literally got into an argument with someone over this D:

    As soon as you've entirely written the code of a tool you've used.
