@Derp Thanks! I'll give it a look.

@Auspice Development I have been doing for 20+ years. I can do the SCSS/HTML/JS/Angular/React..etc with no problem.

Doing the actual design work (Typography, color schemes, UI/UX) I have been doing less than a year, with no training what so ever. I wish I never agreed to it (but if I didn't I wouldn't have a job...so...whee fun.)

"I don't want to offend anyone, but...

This looks like shit, your design is shit, and you're shit. (Ok, paraphrased, but this is how it sounded to my ears)

But please, don't take offence or take it personally."

FML. I just want to go back to developing other people's web designs. This having to come up with the web app design sucks.

I have been doing web development for almost 20 years, and I still feel like an impostor every single day. I fell into this career on accident, it was something I never aspired to, nor did I ever have any formal schooling or training. I am constantly having to look up syntax for things that I use almost every damn day because I can't remember it even after 20 years of almost daily use.

Within the last year I have been forced into a design role for UI/UX as well, and I feel even more like an impostor as I try to come up with color schemes, typography and layout for our applications. I found it so much easier to just code what other people came up with, but coming up with this shit is...hard.

I constantly think someone if finally going to look at me and go 'WTF? This guy has no idea.' and that will be that.

@Auspice My company has that.

@Auspice Man I hate that... I feel your pain.
