Overcoming imposter syndrome
summary
Claims that about 70% of people hit imposter feelings, a journey from Codecademy to front‑end work, and an opening task of building a progress bar on day one; tools that actually help are mentoring, asking simple disarming questions, naming thoughts and fact‑checking them, and leaning into progress over perfection and thoughts vs facts. Returning from maternity leave exposes skill gaps but support and candid conversations find your people and lead to measurable confidence gains.
