This fails to acknowledge the fact that imposter syndrome is generally an irrational belief and often coexists with others forms of mental health issues. This means that (while I'm sure it's part of a humble brag sometimes) that admitting to this feeling while following up with evidence to the contrary fits squarely with the fact that it's an irrational belief. It's one that is held despite counter evidence that the individual may be fully aware of. Try telling someone with OCD that they don't need to check the door lock for the 4th time. They remember checking it 5 seconds earlier, and 5 before that. It's not about evidence.
As such, this article says very little about the people the author makes fun of but a whole lot about the author's ignorance on the topic.
