I love this quiz. One thing that really sets me off. Is the attitude some developers have about other tech or stacks not being as "real" as whatever they use. Personally I think they do this to cover up their own insecurities. Imposter syndrome is a huge problem in our field. Be helpful, be welcoming, everyone is learning/struggling to figure out how to solve problems and keep up. There's no room for putting others down. If another dev makes you feel less. Remember whatever they said is probably more about them than it is about you.

@mscccc "If another dev makes you feel less. Remember whatever they said is probably more about them than it is about you." This really touched my heart. It's hard sometimes living in tech world San Francisco struggling to keep up with people that think they are better than you just because they are super insecure themselves. Sometimes it really seems like the tech industry here is biased to one specific type of person. This really needs to change because these people love to bring people like me and others down. It's a terrible thought.. Lacking the feeling of belonging. Thanks for making me feel like I belong Mike!

Even after this validation I feel like an imposter. This should just be called "Imposter's syndrome quiz" haha.

Perspective

I'm too scared to take this quiz... What if it proves to me I'm not actually a real developer?! That my whole life was a lie!

Wtf... Some developers do get to be "more" developers than others. Some work harder than others, some have more experience, and some were just born with more talent. So what? Is this supposed to make the bullied feel better? Holding hand and being told you're a beautiful flower doesn't make anybody feel better. It's patronizing.

This is cool. Overall, I think the dev community should welcome other developers, especially newbies learning how to code (like me). No need to lambast people for not being as good.

By the looks if it, I am a real deceloper myself 😄 I mean I did code a couple of games. This quiz is fun, but I am not a real developer 😄 I couldn't code any of the things that my company creates, even though I understand how everything works. Just knowing the flows and the concepts and maybe debugging their code now and then doesn't really make me a developer. So screw you test, for making me feel like a developer when I'm really not. Feeding me with false hope. Lol #suchatroll . Such a long useless rant.
