Umm how do you define "good" at programming? 1. Is it the fast promotion cadence in a non-faang job? 2. Fast promotion cadence in a faang job? 3. Confident that you can learn a new langauge/stack/tool/algorithm easily? 4. Confident that you can implement a language/stack/tool/algorithm (with enough time)? 5. Passion to actually do #3 and/or #4? I have always sucked at #1 and #2 but have constantly been deep on #5 (id even say i "waste" enough time doing this that I neglected coding at work so ended up switching to management). I really envy the folks who can only code for a living and not be bothered about wanting to do side projects.
