With you all the way, no matter how experienced you are you will still suffer imposter syndrome. Like other problems the first step is to recognize it. I think a little of imposter syndrome is not a bad thing, because it reminds you that you still can grow. BUT: Do not give in, you are not inadequate, appreciate compliments.

I agree. Especially in our industry forgetting that there is still room to grow and learn could end up being the thing that moves us closer to not being a good programmer.

I often prefer working with the developers that are always growing and learning no matter their skills or experience as they are the ones that will be great and continue to be great developers long in the future.
