IMO you shouldn't be allowed to call yourself a "Product Manager" unless you've actually built a new product from the ground up before & gotten it to market.
If spellcheck doesn't work, how do I turn it off completely?
It should suggest words with the correct spelling, but it doesn’t. I'm having to google words I know how to spell, because it's offering ridiculous spellings.
Brain Weasel: “ you have nothing scheduled this weekend, you’re lazy and people don’t like you”
Logic brain: “ senior weasel.. in the next 6 months we are running a 1000 person security conference (#bsidesseattle) , leading a conflict deescalation team at the 1200 person local burn, running floor Security at #defcon, and building a new evolution for security and risk at one of the largest banks in the world”
Brain Weasel: “ Sure, but what important things are you doing”
Brains are not always trustworthy narrators. Fact checking required!
I like advocating for visibility for we #NeuroDifferent, #LGBTQ, etc folks. There are times when #ImposterSyndrome really kicks in. I was “nominated" to run a discussion panel at a work conference in a couple weeks, I was thrust into lead in a work diversity group (someone else moved on) and the first event I'm running is about to happen.
I'm feeling totally in the dark and just the teensiest bit terrified. Somehow things are happening. I'm thankful for that.
Imposter syndrome is something that just about everyone I know who makes games has experienced and often still does experience. This includes me, and I've been making games for over 20 years.
Does any other #writer become less confident in their work the more they write? I’m 18 chapters into a WIP and I’m starting to feel like I don’t know what I’m doing and it’s just not going anywhere. How do you get yourself back on track when you’re losing faith in your ability? #AmWriting#ImposterSyndrome
After a week of self-imposed lockdown & feeling like an utter idiot & imposter the entire time, I think that I've finally managed to build up a #Docker#Django Poetry solution that can run as a non-root user.
After using Poetry for a year+, I really don't like/have a grasp on how it deals with venvs within Docker.
@sara I do nooooot like how dumb I feel when something complicated is throwing me. Or when the full information isn't apparently available to me, to figure it out myself.
Would any academics who already have their PhD be willing to share their experiences with imposter syndrome in a couple of sentences? Either in a private mention or as a reply to this post?
Our EDI group is giving a seminar/discussion on imposter syndrome, but all of the resources out there are for PhD students. I want to show that it doesn't magically go away: that we're all struggling together.
Hey folks, I'm giving a talk on the #ImposterSyndrome in a couple of days, and I'd like some help. Tell me when you feel the impostor syndrome (and let me know if I can share this)
I'm running a few more sessions of my Conquering #ImposterSyndrome class! Next time: March 6th @ 10am-12pm PT.
This is an action-oriented class, where you learn and try tools in class and then leave with the ones that worked for you. If you are at a tech company, you may get O'Reilly for free already; if not, check your public library (Seattle has a subscription) or sign up for a free 2-week trial and get the class that way.
> The PDI coaching program was a game-changer for me. It was during this program that I came to recognize that everyone suffers from impostor syndrome and that, while there are many ways to learn Python, the most important thing is to start coding and working on projects, even if they seem simple. It is the coding repetition that instills knowledge and even experts still look up things. Also, Git/GitHub are not scary tools!
Whenever I get some new followers, I always have a momentary urge to DM them a warning that I'm not nearly as interesting as they might think I am 🙂 #impostersyndrome
College work done for the week. Got my new case-it binder set up so I have one place, rather than various apps, notebooks, etc, to coordinate the business forks and the nonprofit I'm working on (Why yes, this AuDHDer is working on getting their life organized. Muahahahaha!)
And now that I look at this, I realize a) this is the living emobidyment of having multiple organizational systems to keep on track when you're AuDHD and b) having a googly-eyed binder gives me enough dopamine to WANT to use the binder.
One way I cope with imposter syndrome is to admit to the more-knowledgeable person I’m talking to that I’m a dilettante.
I’m sure it’s helpful to clear the air, but the real benefit is seeing the look on their face that indicates that they don’t know the word “dilettante.” Who’s the fraud now?
