@justinbieshaar: Things programmers forget are normal. ❤️ Often I see social media painting a wrong picture about programming and only showing "the good parts". And I may have my share in that too although that never is my intention, I can understand it may be perceived like that some times. So here a friendly reminder to not let social media fool you. 🫶 ✨ Solving things no one asked for It's normal to find something and wanting to fix it before others notice. ✨ Fearing one mistake ruins everything It's normal to be afraid of making a mistake that ruins the product you work on. It means you take ownership. ✨ Being proud of cleaning up a rushed feature It's normal to be proud of cleaning up a rushed feature, despite no one really seeing the effort in the end as the feature doesn't change much. ✨ Fearing to ask basic questions It's normal to think you must know everything, but always ask questions. 🙌 ✨ Overthinking every single abstraction level It's normal to over think abstraction levels, it's good to be careful. ✨ Losing belief in your idea It's normal to lose belief some times as your ideas grow, and so you may out grow some. ✨ Questioning your hard-skills It's normal to questioning your hard-skills, but always try to compare yourself to your past self to see how much you've grown. ✨ Struggling to rest your mind It's normal to struggle resting the mind as you constantly using it. ✨ Forgetting to celebrate small wins It's normal to forget celebrating small wins as they tend to feel normal at some point. (But do celebrate them still!) ✨ Realizing everyone else is guessing too No developer has all the answers. 😉 ✨ Hoping your effort truly matters It's normal to hope your effort truly matters, it's the passion that wants validation. 🧠 Reminder: You’re not the only one dealing with these. Every dev, no matter their experience, hits these walls or has these feelings. It's normal! You got this! 🔥 Happy coding everyone! 👨‍💻 ~ Follow for game development and programming content! 🤩 @justinbieshaar . . 🏷️ #programming #gamedev #coding #normal #programmer
