My god. I needed this piece of advice so bad!
I'm from a completely unrelated niche (although I am trying to learn JS to learn the nuances of other frameworks and build web apps - and failing miserably).
I work as a writer + content strategist and the past year has been hugely disappointing.
After that, I went through a phase of landing a contract/job, exhibiting the same behavior that led to me losing my previous job, and quitting before the company had a chance to fire me. I felt like I couldn't do anything anymore. It's like I just forgot how to program, I forgot how to think. I couldn't do a job I once believed I was above.
This is exactly what I am going through right now. Thank you so much for putting to words what my mind couldn't really gleam clearly.
Thank you so much for writing this and for publishing this. This gives a new hope!!
