When you’re a beginner, it’s both. The further you get into your career, it’s usually imposter syndrome. Then again the more you know, the more you realize you don’t know.
In fact in Plato’s Apology, Socrates argues that nobody in Athens is wiser than him (Socrates) because none of them are really wise, but at least Socrates knows that he’s ignorant.

Just became a director not too long ago. I’m still waiting for them tk realize that I don’t know WTF I’m doing.
If this feeling ever goes away, you’ve become over confident and will get back to it eventually.

Nobody knows everything, but everybody knows something.
No I don’t
Then you know what you don’t know, which is an aspect of knowledge.

Do you know that?
I started this way but I’ve been in my field for a few years and now I can’t tell if I’m pretty good or if everyone else is just terrible.
Not to worry, this feeling never goes away
It’s the Dunning-Kruger Effect you can never escape from
I’ll just put this here: https://piped.video/watch?v=kcfRe15I47I
Thanks for the video, I really liked it
You’re welcome!
Eventually you’ll realize those aren’t mutually exclusive.
We are human and we don’t know everything.
You most likely have gotten to the level for a position, for which you then build into and become more skilled.
You don’t arrive to a position (or anything for that matter) knowing everything. But you know enough to begin.
Both! You’re probably a lot better than you give yourself credit for but also haven’t made enough mistakes yet to see the error of your code
We don’t know shit. It’s just some of us are better at pretending otherwise. Just do your best OP.
Psst, don’t tell anyone, but we’re all dumbasses pretending we know shit
And we never stop pretending.
If Stackoverflow and Google go down for a week at the same time, we are all out of a job. And the whole world burns.
Everyone says ChatGPT can’t tell if it’s wrong. Well neither can I!
If the answer is wrong, but nobody realises it’s wrong, is it still wrong?
You’re hired! Welcome aboard here at the Boeing Company.
Hay! I know things!!!
Like, uh, javascript sucks! Haha, amirite!?
(But no really I hate js so much)
Bruh, at least it ain’t Java
Between JS and VB.NET, give me JS anytime, even if it’s ES3.
But modern JS is way better than what it was a decade ago. It’s a pretty solid language now.
Given I have to work relatively often in legacy VB, I wholeheartedly agree. But I’d kill to be working in C# instead.
Strongly typed is life!
Speak for yourself.
I don’t even pretend.
Don’t worry, it’s both
This applies to any career, I think.
For me, it’s, “Is this good enough to get me a job. Some dude already got a whole ass facebook or twitter in his resume no forks.”
