I think there's something missing in this discussion.
Do you know everything before you start $JOB? Do you have absolutely every last skill required to get the job done?
I can only speak for myself here. I know I haven't.
There have been cases where I only checked half the boxes for a job I was interviewing for.
I'm certainly not the only one that's been in such a scenario.
Impostor syndrome runs strong and screams loud in my ears. I own it. I live with it.
If I (or anyone else for that matter) were to only apply to jobs or pick up tasks where I knew everything required, I suspect I and a lot of other people wouldn't be doing much.
Does that make me a bullshitter? Where does one cross the line from authentic to bullshitter?
I'm not going to stop doing hard things, things I don't know everything about, just because I'm afraid of what someone will think of me. I don't recommend anyone take that approach.
Do hard things. Sell yourself. Be confident. And I'm speaking to myself, as well as to anyone else who cares to listen.
