Software development is a young field, and we are alchemists (or astrologists, if you prefer) trying to figure out how the hell do I debug my 1238 microservices?
It means that nobody is really good in it, that we miss very often what's really important (what we build and its outcome, and not tab vs space vs static typing vs OOP), and, more important, that almost nothing we consider The Truth was scientifically proved. You know, science, the stuff which brought us computers at the first place.
It means that we are all imposters. We should all be humble, listen to our peers, question them, bring diversity in our companies, but never affirming that we are right because that's how it works because I know and Uncle Bob agrees.
Imposter syndrome will always creep in from time to time. I'm bad, everybody else is better. My counter-thinking: I'm not that good, and everybody as well, because we are all explorers. That's not only fine, but exciting.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
