A little. So many of the people commenting seem very competent and are doing neat things, stuff that's way beyond my abilities. I spend more time than I'd like

A little. So many of the people commenting seem very competent and are doing neat things, stuff that's way beyond my abilities. I spend more time than I'd like to admit just trying to get my Android UIs to look at best not-shitty. I've been in tech (software and server admin) for decades.
I understand imposter syndrome but that's not what this is. This is straight up: I can't even imagine how to properly do these things.
I'm seriously planning on getting out of tech entirely because I don't think I could successfully navigate the tech interview process. I only got this job because I know a guy.
This is not perfectly related to what you're describing, where the articles themselves are downers, but I just had to get it off my chest.

Isn't learning how the exercise? >I'm seriously planning on getting out of tech entirely because I don't think I could successfully navigate the tech interview process. I only got this job because I know a guy. I'm coming from the other end of the spectrum so I don't know what particular issues you're having, but there's always a post on HN frontpage every other week or so about the poor state of hiring/tech interviews across the board. On the other hand, I'd say you should play to your strengths. You earned your network over your long career. Cheers.
