Hacker News

While reading content on the internet I always see currency which are not in my local currency and was forced to google the current price and multiple with the current rate.

Created a chrome extension just to solve that.

I'm self-taught, and I'm mostly avoiding[0] AI while I learn. I regularly see the phrase 'know how to code', but I'm not sure what the consensus criteria are for that. Typically this kind of beginner question would be more suited to reddit, but I think the responses there are biased toward inexperience.

Here's the criteria I have so far for a 'reasonably competent' developer:

- knowing how to compile a basic C program - knowing enough git to contribute to open-source projects on github-likes - knowing common DS&A patterns (not necessarily well enough to pass FAANG though) - being able to setup a basic CRUD website with logins & accounts - knowing OOP paradigms like classes, constructors, etc.

What am I missing?
