Imho (in my harsh opinion, in this case) unless you're a prodigy you're probably not a very good programmer at this point. Now granted people learn more quickly outside of university I think because it tends to be more focused, but I don't think I know anyone that I would have called a good programmer a year in.

But feel free to call yourself a programmer, I'm not going to gatekeep it :)
