Unmasking Imposter Syndrome
•
3 j'aime•960 vues
Talk from the inaugural Lead Dev Austin meetup. Tech is a fertile ground for imposter syndrome -- technologies and tools change quickly, its practitioners come from a variety of backgrounds, and the evolving job landscape, roles, and titles aren't always clearly defined. All of this (and more) contributes to feelings of imposter syndrome. I'd like to talk about why imposter syndrome is so prevalent, ways to deal with it, and how we as a community can do better to support those who feel imposter syndrome and help to curtail its impact.
