There's a corollary to this imposter syndrome phenomenon that I have always found very useful to me, especially when I find myself inflicted by it, sitting in front of a computer - not knowing whats going on or how to fix something: "if it involves a computer, a human was involved on the other side - and if they could understand it, so can I. I just need to think like they do." I suppose this is, as applicable to any technology really, just that my personal experience has always been that adopting this mindset with some thorny computer problem has, almost immediately, dissolved the imposter syndrome and replaced it with a student syndrome. And when you think about it, being a wilful and mindful student is how you get out of a lot of these kinds of situations ..
