A true programmer is not judged by pieces of paper that said you learned something. A true programmer creates a solution that allows others to learn.
If you have programmed anything that solves a problem or fulfills a need, you are already a programmer. A piece of paper doesn't change that. -
You’re not a ‘real’ anything just ‘cos you’ve got a degree. The real learning is just beginning. You won’t get rid of imposter syndrome, if you do it means you have stopped learning.

ImCypher667yImposter syndrome.... The worst kind of self ass kicking. I go through it every time I start something new with technology. The degree may help self confidence but don't let it dictate your work.

Brolls31587yImposter syndrome is a bitch.
I’ve faced the “real programmer” bullshit before.
I find code speaks for itself.
Plus I’m quite a friendly, but dry humour / sassy gay dude, so people *tend* to get on with me pretty well.
Just code your little heart out, do good work and the rest will follow.

Beating my imposter syndrome at work. Finishing my degree so my coworkers consider me a "real programmer." Having the confidence to do both.
