Let's end Imposter Syndrome
- srose3100 11y agoImposter Syndrome affects all type of careers and activities not just software development.
- maxehmookau 11y agoYou're right. At no point did I make that assertion, however. The blog's posts are entirely about software development so the post was aimed at the audience of the blog.
- Randgalt 11y agoYou misunderstand what Imposter Syndrome is. Please research the subject better and revise your post.
- maxehmookau 11y agoThanks for that.
- griff122 11y agoWhat would you call what woolf is describing? I'm curious because the ideas expressed in his post are how I feel everyday.
- ArekDymalski 11y agoI'd say that the post very accurately describes the problem of self-esteem based on comparisons with others and/or current trends. Which is a big problem indeed. However it's a problem only partially connected to Impostor Syndrome, which is defined as an inability to attribute own success to own competences. People suffering from IS attribute their success to luck or "faking". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impostor_syndrome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impostor_syndrome
