> If you never get impostor syndrome, then you either aren't challenging yourself or you might not have the subject area competence to assess your own skills I'm not disagreeing and I can allow that IS a natural and expected safety valve. That said, I suggest that some individuals are better off without IS operating. They're less-than-qualified but they commit because they believe they'll figure it out in time. For low-resource individuals, this can be the least-unlikely path from destitution.
