Comment by Kamil Gierach-Pacanek on "Dunning Kruger Effect and Imposter Syndrome"

🔥 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 :)?

Thanks a lot Kamil Gierach-Pacanek for your words🙏

I am glad that you've liked it because as I mentioned I never thought someone would connect with such a topic and especially for me because I was writing it for the first time.

and thank you for the suggestion, I don't know if I have anything more to say but I'd definitely consider writing about more such topics in the future as well.

And to answer your question, yes, that's a mistake on my part 🤦‍♂️, I missed writing about why I think it is good (I will update it)

But in short, Why I considered it to be a good thing is because I realized that I was making myself grow in my career and making it more challenging which is why I started getting these thoughts :)

Thanks again! 😃
