Ask HN: Working with a lot more experience co-workers, recommendations
Hi,
I have over 5 years of experience working in mobile and software development (backend mostly in Rails). In my previous work I felt extremely confident because it was a small team with little CS experience and most of my solutions were basically the best even when I knew maybe that wasn't true.
After a year I decided to go looking for another job opportunity and landed a job and now I feel kind of lost all my colleagues have a lot more experience and even when I'm trying to catch up with everything, trying to learn and use better ruby programing patterns, learning Redis and Ember, I feel behind. My confidence have drop a lot and even I have hard time proposing ideas or making an opinion because I feel insecure about what I know.

Does anyone have an opinion or a recommendation?
