I struggle with the same thing, but I am getting over it. I try to do a better job of being extra proud of myself and my accomplishments. I frame my self-praise with something like 'Look where you started compared to your peers; and now look how far you made it!'

> That's not how the world works.

That's not how it works right now. Some want that future and are working to make it happen.

Yeah right? I read this and thought 'Yes, wealthy people stay quite wealthy throughout their lives, while poor people work their way into higher salaries.'

Be a leader and help them write better code.

And as others have mentioned; code reviews shouldnt ever be brutal. You need to look at code reviews as a way to improve your team's performance. It shouldn't be a roast.

Where do you get your news, oh wise one?

The place I work just wrapped up a white label project for your previous company. Small world.

If I remember correctly USPS has some crazy requirement which demands the organization fund retirement plans for many decades out. I think without that requirement they might show a profit every year.

I recently learned about git bisect. Very useful!

Owners said they wanted to pay me more but couldn't afford to right now. Dangled a `maybe in 6months` in front of me.

This is me. I graduated last year and work at a small consulting shop doing web apps. I'm currently interviewing and getting offers from more established companies. This is the first time I've felt bad about leaving a company after one year. My coworkers are awesome. But the benefits suck, the clients are a nightmare, pay isn't great. I feel like I would be a fool to stay.

Hundreds of years of systemic and societal oppression. Really how do people not get this?

You've tried both? Not poking fun just curious.

This was me several years ago. I did a couple small things that changed my life in a big way. See a psychiatrist to talk through your problems. It may help you identify why you worry so much.

When you feel the worries coming on, make a conscious effort to calm yourself; and be nicer to yourself. You are awesome. You are great at handling any issue. Repeat it over and over and over. Take care of yourself.

Make an effort to be more mindful. Stop and smell the roses every once in a while :)

As a junior dev only a couple years into programming I love pair programming. I spend way less time stuck. It's been life changing for me.

wow after reading this I have no idea why they were angry and annoyed. I bet you're positively charming.
