One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.
This manifesto is great but it is not an imposter manifesto though.
An imposter manifesto would tell you how to do an epic imposture like selling the Eiffel Tower or a New York bridge.
What you have is a "Great Learner Manifesto"
The first guy to sign this manifesto was a Rust developer from Ancient Greece called Socrates and he puts it this way
The only thing I know is that I know nothing*
(*) not exactly true, he was great at asking questions and on ethical issues.
Awarded GitHub Star since 2023 βοΈ and Microsoft MVP since 2024 π· I talk about Open Source, GitHub, and Web Development.
I also run a YouTube channel called DevLeonardo, see you there!
I think the "mismatching" connection with the term Impostor is intentional here.
If you feel like you're an impostor, you should try to shift the focus to the mentioned points in the manifesto so that instead of being a fraud, you're openly someone who's learning which is more than ok, it's great :D

I'm a passionate learner and sharer. I always try to give back to the developer community. I create mobile and Web applications by day. Games, Podcasts and Livestreams by night.
Always glad to see things like this continue to be a discussion out there in public to help those quietly wondering if they should say anything. I can never decide if I feel like an imposter or just having a self-doubt day. Either way, I like spinning it to a positive and saying I'm always curious and always learning whilst wanting to stand up and help.

Yes we agree

Yes! That's exactly about that! :D
If we can try to shift the focus from impostor to learner, it's way better to live with :)
that's kinda sus...
I was unsure if put somewhere a reference to Among Us, is it still a thing? π

How did you add that "Author Box" at the end of the article Leonardo? Is it because you are part of an Org?
No, you can also do that :)
Welcome to the family.
Thank you π
