When you start a new project with 2 more developers. You see their CVs and they look experienced.

(Fast forward one month....)

You realize you are the most experienced one and they are waiting for you to guide and mentor them.
The worst of all I thought I was going to learn from them because I still am not ready to mentor other people.

Aaaaaand now I am panicked.

I miss the time where I used to sit in my corner, do the tasks that was given to me and that's all. Now I have to code, build documentation, assign tasks, etc. I am not ready for this. I never asked for this. I just wanted to be a developer. :( :P

    The best chance for you to build skill, reputation, and great experience under stress/pressure.
    Good luck to you 🙂👍

    That is how my current job started 2 years ago. The one month fast forward took me 3 months, but here I am. The 2 guys have left, I have hired 4 more, 1 of which left.

    It truly tests my patience, I know I am harsh but I want my teammates to learn proper coding. I am constantly fighting with management on deadlines, features, and proving that we're taking care of shit.

    But it comes put to be about equally as stressful as coding. 😑
