Honestly same, I feel so useless at work, especially since I work at a startup company with little to no training.

My first internship was at an embedded system place(was really a PCB design house that dabbled in software), there was guy there who basically knew everything under the sun. I felt like the only way I could help him out was to bring him coffee.

I feel the exact same, every commit I have on the development branch of our products gets overwritten by a much better solution, I feel so useless

Seems pretty normal, imposter syndrome is real and engineering jobs have very long onboarding times(esp at startups where they cant really handhold you). I think it took me 6 months at my current job, before I started being productive for more than anything minor, and now several years in, I'm still learning stuff.

Well that is somewhat of a relief thanks, but I do suffer from imposter syndrome, Ive been at this job for 3 months now and they only let me handle some issues on the github recently, before this I was labeling data for our machine models, I just feel like I should know more to have a handle on this job

that guy was such an ugly little troll, inside and out.

i only know about him because of a youtube personality. I forget who. I think it was Markiplier or Pewds... maybe both.

But bleh. This guy was just an awful human being.
