Ask HN: What boosted your confidence as a new programmer?
28 by optbuild | 34 comments on Hacker News.
When anyone starts out in a new craft, even after grasping the fundamentals of the tools they are quite shaky and low on confidence until they have a significant experience in doing something that ultimately ramps up their confidence in their craftsmanship. Similar things happen with novice programmers when they start out. Then they read a beautiful codebase which they can fully understand and replicate, or build a project from scratch, or read a book or take a class on a subject. And their confidence is tremendously boosted thereafter. What was it for you? How did you gain this confidence to take the first step from being a tinkerer to being a skilled craftman?
