One the problems that leads to feelings of impostor syndrome is the constant churn of development technologies and trends that happens in tech, year after year
For example I’m a longtime developer and have over 15 years in the industry but my knowledge of frameworks is only as good as the latest tech stack my company or team has decided to use - should I throw out all my objective experience with monoliths now that micro services are en vouge? Should I abandon my use of Gitflow as a git branching paradigm now that this team uses a single branch model. This project doesn’t use MVVM but they do want to use MVU. The debugging tool has changed and now we use a different bugtracker that I’m not good at
Ie the constant fluctuations in tech, processes and environment are enough to drive anyone to question their learned wisdom
Accepting constant change is a just a given for developers but it does lead to such stress
