I'd say this sums up what I bring to the table pretty well. And I really believed this in myself from early on. I had plenty of imposter syndrome about code, but was confident that I truly did have a good broad skillset in general and used that to jump in to tasks and opportunities I could have put off.
That's it. That's what I have been feeling - imposter syndrome. I am a SQL Developer with 20 years of experience and I have been moved into a new role. Now, I'm learning QlikView and QlikSense, and 3 months ago, I started learning Python. I've created some scripts to do data formating and my boss keeps telling me how great I'm doing. But, I don't feel like I have a good grasp on Python. I can't just sit and code off the top of my head, like I can in SQL. There's a lot going on at work, so I'm not using Python every day or even once a week. Thank you for giving me a phrase that describes how I'm feeling to a t.
It takes quite some time to code off the top of the head in any language. I still can't do it in Java and I've been using it for the past 3 years.
Now I'm doing all things JavaScript and I am definitely not able to do it but I don't expect it to happen, and I don't that makes me or someone else a "bad" programmer so the whole imposter syndrome thing I personally think it's really unfounded for many people nowadays.
