I once said that "I realize nothing I do in engineering will ever end up on the front page of Hacker News." Feels like a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Thank you

Thanks for sharing your story! I took a similar path: 20s in a career I didn't like, coding bootcamp, working like crazy to get that first software engineering job. Now I couldn't be happier!

I couldn't agree more. I had a few paragraphs on impostor syndrome that I edited down to "doubt" but I hope it was implied, you must ignore impostor syndrome. There are always going to be people doing Mount Olympus code and that is great! These are the people we can learn from. I get to build things people use and I love it.
