Do you have knee jerk reaction thoughts on situations or people you know to be false, but keep coming up and need to consciously suppress and remind yourself they’re irrational?

    Is there any other profession where Imposter Syndrome is so ubiquitous as software development? Often you can even feel superior to some people while still feeling like an imposter yourself.

    For me it may be more about the effort of handling all the responsibility given because of my skills and knowledge, so I am hoping people to call me out on all of the small mistakes and be less eager to trust me more responsibilities. I also get really hung up on trying to give perfect advice when requested to the point I would often rather do it on their behalf instead of trying to make sure I’m not accidentally leading them astray.
