I am a shitty programmer

After many instances of thinking I was mediocre, it has come to my attention that I am genuinely a shitty programmer. when I wrote code that I was genuinely pleased with, only to see it thrown away, I thought that the person rewriting it was just showing off. I never found it suspicious that I was the only one fired when companies needed to "downsize", because I was a bit asocial and sometimes forgetful about implementing things to spec.

I was oblivious.

I have read SICP. I have a education in CS from a prestigious community college and a state university.

Is it possible that some people are just shitty, stupid programmers? Clearly I am one of these people. I think I'll call up Kodak-kun to see if he needs any help with the toilets.

Can you get paid for that though?

General shittyness, unmaintainable code, unreadable code.... I have a tendency to require 15 parameters where 3 would suffice. I often need 3 times the number of steps to do something that others do. I pick the wrong algorithms for stuff. I read the documentation for something and get a barely-functional version that is all wrong.

No one ever tells me I'm doing it wrong, they just redo it again, and much simpler.

Thing is, I've tried to improve, but I just can't think of the right ways to do it. I have an answer for most things, but it's terrible and bloated.
