I have been put through the ringer this last week and have been feeling this weird pendulum. Sometimes feeling like I am a proficient programmer and that I understand how to program and even better how to continue expanding on my understanding of programming. Soon fallowed by times where I can't remember if I know how to "really" program, or if I am even skilled enough to be considered a programmer. I often face technical programing problems that when overcome make me feel like the possibility of reaching my goal is a real outcome. My goal was to attend a bootcamp to fill out and refine my skills, gain confidence, and apply to get a job at google in Boulder, Co. However there are times when I wonder if I am even capable enough to be considered a good candidate. I was curious to know what would constitute being a proficient enough, because I often see the job listings for junior front-end devs and think, there is no way I meet all those requirements, to witch you might say "the job listings are written by H.R. and that's not the true measurement of candidacy", which brings me to the point of this long winded post,

What is enough and what determines what is enough in this field?

Especially when looking for somewhere to start your professional journey.
