That horrible feeling that you're holding the team back as a junior dev.

What took me two days of struggle, it took the senior dev a glance to solve the issue.

Literately took them less than 10seconds to complete the task which I spent two days both at work and after work of debugging and research to try and solve.

Why are they paying me to work here.

What @ClemFrieckie said. You're not expected to know everything or solve problems as fast as the senior devs. I'm envious that you have a Junior dev position. Even with 10+ years of programming experience, I'm struggling to get any.

Count your lucky stars entry jobs are few and far in between

Because he wrote the original code and the bug?

This is usually me... I'm a senior developer but have to understand legacy code written in MonkeyTalk

Very familiar feeling. I applied for a junior position but they declined and offered me an intermediate position. Keep in mind I am a graduate with a few side projects up my sleeve.

I feel that every day I go in to work, I am letting someone down. It is very hard, but it gets easier. Just keep going and try your best!

Always ask questions and ffs, write down everything anyone tells you.

It will get better man. No shame in not knowing everything, soon you will remember this rant and feel nostalgic and probably laugh at those moments. BTW that shit still happens to me 5 years after I started (which is not much though) and I don't feel that bad about it.

@billgates actually I wrote that particular class.

Yeah, I'm learning a ton everyday. 3months in and my notebook is already full.

@Nivlagx o...

Use a digital one? I like MarkDown Pad nowadays

Oh? I'll try it out!
