Impostor syndrome in the IT world from a conference speaker's perspective
summary
Impostor syndrome hits about 70% of people at least once and here is what actually helps: the talk names the four horsemen — self-doubt, perfectionism, anxiety, fear of failure — and gives concrete tactics used by a conference speaker: took Scott Hanselman’s Pluralsight course, got a talk accepted at a 400‑person conference, uses rehearsal deadlines and teammate run‑throughs, save positive feedback screenshots to counter negative bias, open‑sources code to surface bugs and improve it, asks for help early and sets staged goals to avoid last‑minute panic.
