I would take an already-made burger, then inspect it and rip out elements of it, replace several others, add a bunch of layers of new things. It would take a few months and I would have no idea what I’m doing the whole time, but I would persist. The end result would be a delicious burger that occasionally has a missing item. Still working on why/where/how that happens. People would enjoy it, but most would not know that they can customize their burger, or the extent of the options.
(I used to code as a hobby in VB, C#, and Java over a decade ago, almost two; this burger example is me not knowing a damn bit of Lua, as I fork and modify a game mod to have a lot more features, less confusing variables, and lots of broken commented code as I have ideas but still don’t fully grasp what I’m doing. Weeeee!)

Wait, you guys have a clue? Junior dev here applying up to mid-level roles, and I’m so fucking lost at what I see as wizardry from everyone.
Yes, but actually no. :P
Impostor syndrome is a fucking bitch. That’s why I gave up on ever thinking I’ll understand anything.
