Imposter syndrome never goes away
Jokes on you, I'm not even good enough for proper imposter syndrome /s
It keeps getting stronger
I ask myself all the time, how did I become the "expert".
Probably BC you give half a shit. Most people out there are giving it a solid 30%
The inverse. Sales and execs promise the moon but the expert knows it's impossible. https://youtu.be/BKorP55Aqvg
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/BKorP55Aqvg
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
This is basically my life at this point. I've become the SME for like half a dozen things because I can't fucking say no but I still feel the imposter syndrome every once in a while.
Though at this point it's mostly being sad that the bar is so low...
That's me at my work. They say I'm expert on injection machines. And I'm still like, what the heck are you talking about.
Company hired me as a front end dev and when I first started I opened dev tools and my boss literally smiled to my lead and said "we hired the right person", funny thing was that the job was actually not front end dev, but styling reports on a windows application... I left shortly after.

As a reservist!!!
