I recently started feeling impostor syndrome because of a major success that I got, and now since day 1 of results, I started having thoughts that will I even be able to work the thing for which I was selected. I will try to do what you suggested. Thanks a lot for this :)

Interesting article. I think at some levels - all human beings have some sort of imposter syndrome.

In some cases, it is aggravated by a competitive environment. In other cases aggravated by a perception of a competitive environment - even if it's a properly interesting collaborative environment.

Your article covers well a range of interesting points for us to keep an eye on - but I would add another one: understand your environment.

Toxic environments or highly competitive environments are not interesting for anyone and we, as professionals, should understand what are those and tell tales signs of "bad".

All in all, self-knowledge is super important and I'd recommend for everyone investing a bit on this. It will help you as a life-long learner, as a professional and a human being.

Again, good article.

Human Factors and Ergonomics in the coding community. You may be one of the first to write about it.

🔥 Man that was an awesome piece to read! I'm missing these psychological and cognitive topics among the IT guys. Where I live (Poland) there is one, former, developer Maciej Aniserowicz. I tend to watch his videos as often he depicted the similar, analytic point of view, from the perspective of IT guy.

I find it refreshing that you rise the Imposter Syndrome topic but also mentioned the Dunning Kruger Effect, which I didn't recall, but understood the meaning of.

Apoorv Tyagi, please don't feel the pressure, but I would gladly read more of these, if you consider ever writing about your thoughts about #devlife in the future.

One question though: you've said that "imposter syndrome is both good and bad" - but you just focused on the disadvantages. Mistake or am I missing something :)?
