I think if the lesson you're taking from the whole imposter syndrome thing is "you don't need to improve", then you're not really learning the right lesson at all. Imposter syndrome is real, but it doesn't at all mean it's okay to be complacent, and it certainly isn't meant to encourage more Dunning-Krugerism.

The reality is that sometimes I get a job that I shouldn't work 8 hours per day for but 12 to 16 hours per day for the first few couple of months in order to get reliably up to speed. Yes, that's harsh, but at least it means my job would be secure. Instead, I did my best for 8 hours per day and simply wasn't good enough.
