Crazy to think you don’t think of yourself as one of the smarter ones.

I guess skill level is always subjective.

Why is that?

I tend to feel like an imposter within the developer community because of how many cool things people can whip up over a weekend. Laravel gives me a solid foundation that allows me to actually build stuff while I fumble my way through learning ‘best practices’.

It looks pretty natural to me when using them within a sentence here. I think sometimes they lose their luster because they end up being spammed with junk.

Within a sentence looks better than slapping them at the end of a post imo.

I think so. There are many that will go down with the ship if you think it is in fact, sinking.
