Such a strange phenomenon!<p>I’m an okay programmer. I’m well aware other people run circles around me. Like seriously outclass me in every possible way concerning embedded, C, OO, asm, etc.<p>BUT... I’ve never once felt like an imposter. I’m not as good as other people but I’m doing the job, learning everyday, and I try. I just don’t understand the feeling of being an imposter.<p>Is it ego somehow? Is it just a confidence thing? If you think someone will “discover” you are a fraud isn’t that also kind of a slight on them as well?
