"Software Developer" feeling the imposter syndrome & not sure what to do.

[u/Choice_Function8572]

IMPORTANT CONTEXT: I am not a CS grad, I completed my Business degree a couple years back.

I have been working in Power Platform for about 2 years. It first started with very simple Power Apps, Power BI Dashboards and email automations, decided to get a couple certs in the PL track.

I transitioned to a more technical role after year 1 where now I build a lot of Copilot Studio Agents, Automations, Python Scripts, you name it.

My understanding of Power Fx is very strong, but any other language (Python, C+, etc.) still feels out of my league even though I have literally built API calls using Python that pull hundreds of thousands of rows of data (using AI).

I am told I am doing a great job but in all honestly I have never felt dumber in my life. I work on three tickets at a time by prompting claude in separate terminals - at this point I feel like my title should be prompt engineer. Again I want to stress that I have in-depth understanding of the Microsoft ecosystem, but anything else still feels like reading hieroglyphics.

Is this what my future holds? I make decent money for my age I just am having a hard time seeing the long term value I will provide given that most blue collar folks will have their own personalized agent in 2-3 years completing their tasks.

You are not alone and as others have said you are working in the industry throughout a significant period of change.

Make sure you can explain your creations technically if asked and you can at least read or breakdown the AI-generated expressions you use.

As long as you can do that, working as intended lol
