People around me and clients are increasingly saying i am a genius, because i show them an app i made in react-native or some crappy site i set up in a week as POC.

While im quite noobish still, i barely read publications out of interests, and most of the time i just put in async/await somewhere just to see if it makes the promise work or not, because i dont understand promises fully, and I think in general i just accomplished very little in the 5 years I have been programming

It is really putting pressure on my impostor syndrome, even more when i talk with my peers who can tell who was the driving force behind ES6 :/

    When I start to feel like the stupid fuck that I am, I always show my non-technical friends the shitty projects I've made. Makes me feel a bit better about myself lmao.

    Just hang in there man, you'll get over it.

    I hate when they do that, the praise thingy, because then I have one personality suffering from imposter syndrome, and another personality suffering from ego bloat. Ego blost is by far the uglierb of the two. And of course, when you have those going along with MPD, manic-depression gets to be a real mental roller coaster ride through the emotions.

    I’m hearing someone who reads publications, experiments with things they are not familiar with, and has a pretty good idea of things they don’t know. Sounds like a smart person to me :)

    Here's a tip: always pull on an unknown orientation door. You avoid the embarrassment of trying to push on a pull door and having to back up!

    @Nanos if only most of the doors I see in stores and business buildings were like that... most of them have handles on both sides to keep people from contacting the door directly, at least where I’m at
