Polyglot, autodidact. OSS author and contributor. Addicted to writing code, seeking my next 'fix'. Love communicating with an audience whose eyes don't glaze over when I get to the 'good parts'.
It comes and goes but never goes away completely. Programming is solving problems, often times in unfamiliar domains with tools/resources you're not familiar with. If you get comfortable, the ecosystem could advance and suddenly everything your familiar with becomes obsolete.
Programming requires constant learning; ability to quickly learn new concepts is as important as ability to write code. Studying new conceps, trying new things, never ends. Unless you find some very specific niche and spend your entire career working on the same thing.
The best devs are the ones who never lose their appetite for learning. Imposter syndrome comes and goes but eventually it just becomes a signal that you're about to experience some growing pains as you progress into something new.
As uncomfortable as it can be, it's actually a good thing. If you never feel uncomfortable, doubt your ability, etc; you're probably not growing as a dev.
