Maker of software products and a builder of teams. Director of Engineering
@ Zwift.com⚡ We're hiring! Helping developers rise via The Rising Dev newsletter.
Personally, I’ve dealt with Imposter Syndrome off and on throughout my entire career (20+ years in software). It can creep in with varying degrees of intensity on a monthly basis.
I’ve done my own research and found a few tactics that helped. I also worked with a coach on dealing with it. My goal isn’t always to rid myself of Imposter Syndrome, but to limit it from slowing me down - I’ve gotten better at that. In the podcast I linked to above I share some of my tactics in more detail. We are all different, what works for me might not work for you, but it’s always worth trying.
I’ve learned that Imposter Syndrome is a cycle, at least for me. And I’ve learned that it can be an indicator that I’m not working within my style - my optimal mode of working. This unlocked a ton of insight for me.
