I saw a job post the other day. 👔

It required 4+ years of experience in FastAPI. 🤦

I couldn't apply as I only have 1.5+ years of experience since I created that thing. 😅

Maybe it's time to re-evaluate that 'years of experience = skill level'. ♻

amcod3 @mikaeriohana 😂🤦

Sebastián Ramírez amcod3 I can't imagine the face of the interviewer when you answered 'Unfortunately, I created it less than 4 years ago. Is that a deterrent? I have a little experience with this!'.

@mikaeriohana amcod3 And then they would say: 'Ah, okay, hmm, that's fine then. Wait, but you don't have a degree, sorry... next one!' 😂

Sebastián Ramírez amcod3 'B.. but I created FastAPI, a modern and fast web framework for building APIs with Python, which you requested experience. I can help you with that, believe me!'

'Yes, you could if you had a degree. Did you see the job description? Glad to see you!'

@mikaeriohana amcod3 😩😭 Next thing is me walking sadly out of the building holding hands with my impostor syndrome and asking myself why did I ever think I was good enough to work using that framework ...😂😂😂

Sebastián Ramírez @mikaeriohana @amcod3 And then when they find someone else and create a product with Your Framework. You introduce bugs 😏🤔
