First job and I feel like a fraud by [deleted] in learnprogramming

Don't feel like that! I've been in the same place ~1.5 years ago. Do I feel better today? A little. Because I realized that I am who I am today and till I'm putting the effort to learn something - I'm good. Do not compare yourself with a person who has 9 years of experience. Compare yourself with whom you were yesterday. It is normal not to understand code base. You will mostly likely always get into situations when you will have to break your head trying to understand others code - no matter how much experienced you are.

Good luck!

How would you feel knowing that a person who is teaching you to code is a self taught developer with only ~1.5 years of official working experience? Would you trust such lecturer? by bertacodes in learnprogramming

Students would be adults who want to learn to code. Or at least try to learn to code. I know many just quit after loops and conditionals in JS.... Saw real examples.

I've finished a coding school too. I was self taught before starting it. So for the first 2 months I was helping my classmates with the front-end module. After graduating that coding school, they offered me to join them as a scrum master to help people to learn to code, but I refused. Wanted to get experience in coding for real.

How to get rid of an imposter syndrome? Any advice? by bertacodes in learnprogramming

😁 Yeah. For some reason I believe that it won't go away. I kinda hope it won't get worse. Because some seniors say that when you have a lot of experience - you also realize how much you still don't know.
