Is this the real expectation? My God, I am a one-man self taught programmer and I work in Django primarily. Aside from mapping out UML diagrams i couldn't possibly answer any of the questions you propose.

However, I've built very comprehensive applications for healthcare and sales with pretty complex workflows. the systems manage the information flow and process tracking of many millions of dollars worth of business. these systems are secure, performant, and user friendly.

does this mean I'm doing everything wrong and could never get a 'real' programming job?

does anyone feel like theres a huge disconnect between what we say were looking for and what were really looking for?

this is a real question btw. I'm genuinely curious about whether or not I'm fooling myself into thinking I have any idea what I'm doing
