"Forbidden Planet" Cured My Imposter Syndrome
summary
Claims that a 1956 film reframes imposter syndrome as an early warning sign and shows concrete fixes: moves between Angular Ember and React, uses Webpack Babel Sass CSS modules and CodePen, hand-codes an SVG bathtub (works but falls short of expectations), and notes absurd churn—“a new library every 2.6 seconds.” Diagnoses burnout and ADHD, then prescribes questions and actions: ask “why now” and “what would make me feel less like an imposter” and take tangible steps like pair programming or therapy and building a support network.
