You're focused on delivering solutions. I've been programming for 35 years now and I know all this fancy-schmancy CS stuff - have a degree in CS and mathematics to go along with it - and you know how often I need to worry about this? Especially these days? Hardly ever. So don't worry about not considering yourself to be a programmer.
Build solutions, delight your customers, and call it a day.
- jcun4128 5y agoYeah I mean I still get paid/can't complain. I just feel concerned when people rattle off these algorithms and what not and I don't use it day to day... maybe it's FOMO.
- taylodl 5y agoYeah, I've found there's two kinds of programmers: those who consistently deliver value, and those who pontificate over which algorithm to use and miss deadlines! :) 99.9% of the time it makes no difference whatsoever and when it does, Stack Overflow is only a click away!
