🔥 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](https://hashnode.com/@apoorvtyagi), 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](https://hashnode.com/@Asentinn) 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! 😃

Yeah, that's why we are here, right? To share what we are learning both for others and for documenting our path for ourselves.

To keep us away from thinking we are "too dumb" - because all these articles didn't write themselves.
