How to tell you’re a bad programmer

How to tell you’re a bad programmer

1. You think you’re an awesome programmer.
2. But no one else has ever told you so.
3. You’ve never looked at old code you wrote and thought, “Ewwww! That is horrible code! What was I thinking???”
4. You’ve never looked at someone else’s code and thought, “Dang, whoever wrote this is a freaking genius.”

Note that this also works if you substitute for “programmer,” and

for “code.”

Definition of a Scapegoat

Scapegoat refers to the deliberate policy of blaming an individual or group when the fault actually lies elsewhere. It means blaming another group or individual for things they did not really do. Those that we scapegoat become objects of our aggression in work and deed.
