When are you a complete programmer ?

Question

After learning a programing language when are you 100%

Answer 1

When you can write code in such a way that you can:
1. Write a back-end
2. Write a front-end
3. Write and model 1. and 2. in such a way that it fits the needs of the company/customer/application goal. Correct patterns et cetera.
4. Write code that is clean and maintainable, that follows guidelines like a codingstandard and test coverage.
5. Write code in such a way that when another programmer reads it, that programmer understands the code without having to ask what all the stuff means. So write clean code.

And there is never a point where somebody will say to you: yes now you are a 100% full programmer. It's just about expierence and developing yourself. Just try it and the way willl open up :)

Answer 2

This is sort of a philosophical question 😅 short answer is, when you are skilled enough to solve real world problems with programming

Answer 3

When the compiler output is “Build successful - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)”

Answer 4

You will never complete a programming language.
Even the socalled champions of a programming language are merely knowing all of its functionalities and libraries.

Answer 5

I agree with Loeschzwerg. Every time you learn new things and topics about your language. Of course you can be an expert at it, in my opinion it’ll take something like a year, It depends on how serious and investing you are.

You don't need to be able to do both front end and back end.
There is a reason why there are front/backend-developers

Answer 7

Loeschzwerg that's true :) and you can also be full-stack, just depends on the personal road you want to take in software development.
