The better you get at something, the deeper your awareness of the craft becomes and you start to appreciate the profound beauty, and the art in the work.

Imposter syndrome is common then because your assumptions about your own preparedness for the work is being shattered.

Nothing can prepare you for the subtleties that lie at the heart of any craft. As you keep doing the work, you'll randomly feel your imagination stretch to new levels of comprehension, enveloping the design with all its details for a fleeting second. It is humbling, and yet terrifying - since it shows you a glimpse of the perfection you're unconsciously trying to grasp.

When this happens, it's a great sign of progress, and there's nothing else to do but to be grateful for the insight.

You become aware of truly how much work there is to achieve your vision, but having intuitive knowledge of that is also a hallmark of being skilled.
That's encouraging, even if it momentarily scares you.

So what if you don't know about web3 or Framework XYZ? You're skilled at learning, so rely on that to move forward.

Trust in your training, and welcome the lessons of experience!
