Any of you /g/uys in the tech industry suffer from imposter syndrome?
>>
>>61617828

Imposter syndrome's fake, unlike the Dunning–Kruger effect.
>>
its caused by parents brainwashing you into thinking you cant do anything so you'll always feel you need em

Imposter Syndrome is the douchiest form of humblebragging to emerge yet. Notice how every faggot on HackerNews claims to "suffer" from it.
>>
>>61617828
If you're the one saying you have ""imposter syndrome"" then you're saying "I know I'm great at this but I don't feel like I am [please give me attention and compliments now]".

Exhibit A:

>>
>>61617828
Yes, people believe need know all pattern design,multicore programming,paradigm programming,advance math and algoritms to code just simple CRUD apps, overthinking and over design software, don't applied to jobs because Muh some random just could develop 3D engine in Haskell obviously every job is full genius like him.

In another hand Dunning–Kruger believe could build very complex software only know basic frameworks.
>>
>>61617828
it is caused from a reliance on frameworks and tools built by people more knowledgeable and intelligent than yourself, with an inability to implement it if someone put a gun to your head. even if you don't need to know how a computer works to do your web dev, it will still be a shadow in the corner of your mind that you will never get rid of
>>
>>61618506
Solution: don't be a computer nigger who only knows how to jockey prebuilt frameworks. Spend your lunch break reading up on actual theory on your phone while you eat or something. It's not hard.
>>
>>61617868
Did you draw this onto a card, scan it, then upload it here?
>>
>>61617868
I have this weird mix of both.
Uni only served to remind me daily just how utterly and unhelpably dumb the vast majority of people apparently are, and how relatively superior I am in contrast.
But I also struggle with continually realizing how little I actually know or am capable, and how much else there is to do and learn, and I just feel like a joke.

How does this fit in to your graph?
>>
>>61618547
big fish in a small pond, maybe? being better than people who are bog standard isn't much of an accomplishment. keep learning and practicing

>Tfw too stupid to come up with revolutionary algorithms and be basically a fucking math genius
>Tfw not stupid enough to have access to the gibs train of the shitty diversity meme
>>
>>61617828
yeah I get that a lot, which is somewhat worrying considering I'm NEET
>>
I know I'm not as good as I'd like to, but I'll just do it anyway
>>
>>61617828
Yeeeeees, exactly what we need: another cancerous meme.
>>
It's not a "syndrome" if I'm actually an imposter
>>
what the fuck ever, everyone hates themselves so much that accepting praise is hard, and everyone wants to blame it on their parents so go the fuck ahead. I'm done with this sudo psychology crap and every upboater trying to diagnose themselves without alienating them from others. My autism diagnosis is borderline bullshit, I've used it as necessary to get ahead of you freaks. But dont get a hard on from being different, because your success story ends there.
>>
What's the point in working when robots will eventually do everything and skynet will kill us all anyway.
>>
>>61618929
I think like that but with prison. Jail sucks, but prison is /comfy/
>>
>>61618942
I don't understand. Jail is just a temporary prison until you're convicted.
>>
>>61618975
jail you get moved around and fucked with all day
Prison you get your cell and your celly and your routine, and you know how long you'll be there assuming you dont badboy.
Plus, guys who can solder make as much as the drug dealers, I'd say its pretty fucking comfy

>No access to 4chan
>No online porn
>No online games

>Anyone could potentially have a shiv and want to play Chronicles of Riddick with your torso
>No chicken tendies on demand
Sounds like hell
>>
>>61617828
had all of these symptoms when I started my job. Then I got better at it and realized that all those symptoms were rightly placed and I was utter trash and I worked my way out of it. If you have imposter syndrome then you are an imposter
>>
>>61619027
I'm not going to convince you to go to prison, and I consider it a blessing when tards like you believe the TV shows. More /comfy/ for me
>>
>>61619042
this nig gets it
>>
I used to, then I overcame it, now I've Peter principled myself and I feel worse.
>>
>>61619042
What was it that you sucked at?
>>
>>61617828
My autism defend me from this. I just don't give a shit.
>>
>>61619027
Swedish prison was alright. Restricted internet access was kinda annoying though - it was in the common-room and you only got 1 hour with access to a few select sites.
>>
>>61617828
>self-doubt
>sense of incompetence
>frequently comparing yourself to other
>low self-esteem, self-worth
>fear, anxiety
>immobility
>stress & burnout
>under-performance
>hard to accept praiser and/or compliments
>inability to enjoy your accomplishments
Yes I have all those symptoms.
But I'm also a kissless, hugless, 30+ year old virgin.
So your fake impostor syndrome sucks and it's not real, being a pathetic virgin looser is the source of my problems.
