I see the opposite almost exclusively... people that can talk a great game but can't actually write a line of code.

  In my experience these people do not suffer from impostor syndrome. Although I have to admit that it could be a coping mechanism, it sounds more like Dunning-Kruger. I guess there are different symptoms of impostor syndrome. For me the comment of OP definitely resonated a lot. Not being able to express the things you know and don't know clearly blurs the lines for me to accurately value the knowledge I actually do possess or have mastered. :-)

    That's fair. I guess for me OP's description of imposter syndrome seems more like Generalized Anxiety Disorder.
