> Then I successfully bullshit my way through our next stand-up to hide my lack of production. Just because no one says anything doesn't mean no one notices you're bullshitting. You're riding a wave right now, the demand for tech workers is unprecedented. For every person who has your work ethic there is a dev on your team picking up the slack. Now here's what I'll leave you with: being a less talented developer who tries: that's good. Being someone who thinks you can put one over on other developers? That's bad. From what you've said it's likely there have been more than one productive developer silently judging you in your lifetime. The consequences of speaking up are what prevent confrontation. No one wants to seem awkward and it's really up to the lead, right? Well maybe the lead is too lazy or doesn't see correcting your lack of contribution as a worthwhile use of their time. So in-case you were wondering why this has worked for you: it's because most people are passive conflict avoiders. If you want to feel good about your life's work in your final moments it might be time to make a change.
