I have worked on multiple projects/products and successfully met & exceeded deadlines and have always understood/delivered on product decisions. For some reason, I feel like a fraud, one who's one meeting/standup/pair-programming session away from being found out. I don't think this is imposter syndrome. My productivity has taken a nose dive, I've quit the company (it was a sabbatical that I've never returned from). Scouring HN is an experience in reinforcing my mediocrity.
