Software Developers Don’t Know What They’re Doing

Almost every day as a software developer you’re asked to do something you’ve never done before.

For example:

  • AWS announces updates weekly
  • VS Code updates monthly
  • And my Microsoft Office products are asking to update almost daily (super annoying, by the way)

As such, the best way or the right way to do something also changes daily.

And that’s what makes life as a software developer so stressful.

Everyone around you is going through the same struggle. If you’re stressed, overwhelmed, or anxious — you’re not alone.

We win by staying open to new ideas, and helping others.

Because we’re all in this together.
