While imposter syndrome might be uncomfortable, I think its generally trait that helps someone become a good developer.
By realizing you don't know everything you are more inclined to continually improve your knowledge.
I think teaching and writing are also good ways of getting over it. Once you explain a concept to people you will know you don't have gaps in your knowledge to arrive at a working understanding.
I think of it as a feeling everyone feels at some point if they care about doing a good job. If you never feel it, you are probably playing it too safe and aren't growing as fast as you could be as a result.
