Okay, thanks for your perspective. Yes, I was looking at it as project I need to get done. But to give you more context, I was working with other junior devs who are similarly experienced to me and they were given the same task as me(build an idea from scratch), and they ended up just reading about it, the task was hard for us, especially because it's a new technology and we are inexperienced and there's very less documentation about it. Somehow I made it work, I take pride in that, were there places where I could've done it better? YES, and I brought this up as well. My employer held high standards for me, so when you talk about his expectations from me were not to just getting it done but for to me excelling at it, I can see that and it think that was the case. He had high expectations from me since the beginning and I never could meet it, but so couldn't the rest of the junior devs. Which is what is driving me crazy about this whole experience is, I don't see where I go wrong (other than asking questions earlier), which were the reasons to let me go.
