Hi! I decided to write a blog on feelings of negativity that I’ve seen a lot of us in the tech world face over the small time I’ve been here. I’ve personally struggled with feelings of incompetency a lot in the past few years. I was a bit too into the competitive programming world and it is cut-throat. I used to go into bouts of self-loathing if I didn’t do as well as I thought I should have. It made it hard to actually spend time having an actual life outside of programming. I don’t regret doing so much competitive coding at all, it is part of what made me who I am and is definitely something I would do again. But I would definitely not care as much about it.
