Dealing with Imposter Syndrome
Imposter syndrome is a common experience among software developers. It is important to acknowledge and address this feeling of inadequacy. Rather than trying to avoid it, imposter syndrome can be a catalyst for learning and growth. The speaker shares personal experiences of feeling like an imposter throughout their career and how it pushed them to improve. The key is to embrace curiosity, expose ignorance, and learn from it.
