How I deal with Imposter Syndrome as a Software Engineer
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2024
- Imposter syndrome is really common among software developers. I've suffered from imposter syndrome myself. There are a lot of different skills and knowledge required to be a good software developer, and it can be easy to feel like you're not good enough when you compare yourself to others.
In this video, I cover my experience with imposter syndrome and some tips on how to overcome it.

Thanks for the video! It really is good to know that there are not a few of us who have thought that we know less than others
It’s definitely common especially among developers. There is so much to know, no one can know it all even if it appears that way at first!
I loved this video Alex. What you talked about can apply to many other professions as well. You've made good suggestions. I shall come back and rewatch this video time to time :)
Thanks mate! I am glad you liked the video!
My imposter syndrome happens after I get the results from tests(such as SAT). But it is a little bit different. I feel as if it was all chance that helped me since I get more than I expect.
I think that is quite common too, thinking that it is all down to luck rather than skill.
