My boss is making me work on a "senior full-stack" contract he took (i am a junior frontend developer). Of course, they aren't supposed to know he isn't the one working, and I can't really talk in meetings, so I have to listen while texting him responses. What's more, he wants me to preempt what someone might say so I can give responses faster for his conversation to flow. Bruh.
I'm supposed to do this without exposing that I'm not a senior developer.
It's been 4 months, and I've been able to do the work so far, but I am severely burnt out.
I wake up every day hoping they at least find out he's not currently in the same continent as the company as he's required to be.
Never would have thought my 2nd year in tech would be like this.
Exp points, I guess.

Today I spent like 30 mins trying to pass one of FreeCodeCamps test.
Found the problem.
I added 'u' to "favorite" when creating the field for a schema. 😂😂😭

My brain is now giving me solutions when the coding assessment is over

Final year at the university, and I only feel regret.
I hoed around in different technologies and fields. I had developed a game that i played with my friends back in high school. They liked it, so in varsity, i tried game development, 3d modelling scared me off, or rather I pussied out.
Web development, didn't go too deep, App Development with Flutter, didn't go too deep, Cybersecurity, went as far as passing the EC council's exams (the training wasn't that good). I tried putting my knowledge into practice, but resources like HTB aren't really free, you need money to learn (one would say i didn't try hard enough ) but now the certificate sits, useless in my resume, anything I learned fading away. I had an idea that applied blockchain, but my dad said "blah blah blah you could be targeted" (are there symbols for paraphrasing ?). I decided to decide on a stack (picked MERN, good idea ?) and work on it, but I feel like maybe tech isn't for me. AJR songs really hit now.
Final year at the university, and I only feel regret.

A whole year (weekends) for a stressful unpaid (they give data stipends tho) internship. I was looking for experience, but what have I gotten myself into.

I called it TextPaste, or was it VidPaste 🤔. Anyways, it was an attempt to promote my laziness in copying code from YouTube videos or images by using text recognition. I called my coding style "Lazy Art," 😂. It was completed....sorta. I mean, it worked sometimes....

Bugs grow in code fr

I restarted vscode, and my perfectly circular div became a capsule

I want to work on my project (well it's just a copy of another website) so bad, but it's the exam period. Mendokusē

Why write tests for frontend when I can clearly see it works......I mean, c'mon, the like button is incrementing....this button doesn't like been tested (T-T)

I have hoed around in different technologies during my university life, Web dev, game dev, cybersecurity (even got a CEH certificate, the training wasn't adequate tho and it's an expensive field needing all those certs), tried blockchain, machine learning but at the end, I haven't gotten anything done. No big projects.... well, apart from a miniproject that extracts text from videos, doesn't work half the time (T-T), No internships...no experience, nothing. I was really, reaaally dumb xD

Now, in my 4th and final year of university , I have decided to settle on Web development (MERN) with game dev on the side (leisure activities), but I need advice.

Before deciding my path, I enrolled in the year-long ALX Software Engineering course. I'm in my 6th month. It promises access to The Room, where they say job opportunities that aren't shared publicly exist. Problem with the course, tho, is they rush, and I don't get time to consolidate what I learn in the course. I feel like i am not gaining anything (first few months were cool). I am on the verge of giving up cos I found solace in FullStackOpen. It teaches MERN, is self-paced, and ergo gives me time to build my portfolio and has a nice community. I know what to do (quit and focus on my portfolio and projects cos my CV is crap ), but advice from you all could really help. Thanks in advance seniors, this little brother appreciates it.
