I have about 6 months of coding experience. All I really knew was how to build a basic MERN app

I’ve been using Sonnet 3.5 to code and I’ve managed to build multiple full fledged apps, including paid ones

Maybe they’re not perfect, but they work and I’ve had no complaints yet. They might not scale to become the next Facebook, but not everything has to scale

Genuine question: Do you feel like you're learning the language/frameworks/techniques well? Or do you feel like you're just getting more adept at leveraging the LLM?

Do you think you could you maintain and/or debug someone else's application?

The more important question that programmers, who are not product makers, often miss is: Are you solving real problems?

It's a slightly orthogonal way of thinking about this but if you are solving real problems, you get away with so much shit, it's unreal.

Maybe Google is not gonna let you code monkey on their monorepo, but you do not have to care. There's enough not-google in the world, and enough real problems.
