Thanks for writing this. I've been pushing back on "imposter syndrome" for a long time. I don't think it is useful for us to explain away uncomfortable feelings of "being an imposter". Our feelings can give us useful signals on what we should improve upon.

Whenever I feel like an imposter, it is a sign that I need to beef up on the fundamentals of a new topic. And that I need to get over myself.
