Great article! Thank you! I've been through this syndrome during my coding bootcamp (that lasted 5 months) and it hurt me a lot. Now, with perspective and time, I know I had to go through that and I overcame it (mostly).

Imposter syndrome still here, but I try not to see it as a bad thing, I think that when you want to make things right, sometimes, it's good to question yourself because you want to make a great work. I prefer underestimating myself and questioning myself than thinking that I know everything and not making a good job. But it you think that you don't need to question yourself and you're overestimate yourself, that's not good.That's what I liked in your article too.

That's true, the balance between the two is a tough thing to manage at times. Keep grinding and learning every day!
