tl;dr: all is well that ends well.
It seems we only hear from those who did poorly in school that also bounced back and became successful later. I guess those that didn't don't have much incentive to telegraph their presence and their achievements (or rather lack thereof).
- vikp 12y agoI debated whether or not to write this because, as I mentioned, I have a large degree of impostor syndrome because of my experiences. It's hard to define what "successful" is. The process of "bouncing back" is also a process of slowly gaining confidence. I'm not sure I would have been able to write this a year or two ago. It's unfortunate that both sides of the issue aren't explored, but that may be due to the confidence problem.

I don't know if you need to feel like an imposter considering you sound like a typical programmer type. Just keep flaunting your stuff. It's the modern hacker way.
