> If anything, the original poster is describing the opposite of imposter syndrome, because they cited specific objective criteria showing that their job performance is inadequate It is not clear if what original poster described is objective: I am guilty of writing such software myself in the past. I was given unrealistic timeframes to write good software - in no way did that make my performance "inadequate", that's just the trade-off chosen for me (I wonder if the author felt pressured to deliver quickly). The only difference is I didn't blame myself for the outcome; rather, I felt proud of being able to deliver something that works on short order.
