What imposter did this?

Have you ever suffered from imposter syndrome? I sure have. Especially at a new job. I always feel a bit out of my depth.

But you know what else happens a lot at a new job?

I find myself looking at code and thinking “What idiot did this?”

How ironic.

I have the confidence to critique code that was clearly done by someone with less experience than me at this new job… and at the same time I’m afraid I don’t have enough experience to edit the code.

What?

Maybe I’m not the imposter I think I am.
