Wow, that makes me feel more confident. The lacking of a specific credential itself made me feel like I wasn't a good candidate.

I will focus on developing the skills I need to get to my end role and simply execute! Thanks for your perspective.

Also, the fastest way to get good at software engineering is to get a good job on a good team. It's the most effective way to learn how to actually do it. So don't fall into the trap of not applying for jobs until you feel like you're absolutely prepared. You can always reapply.
