Not everyone who doubts themselves is suffering from impostor syndrome. Sometimes the real problem lies in the strategy they've chosen, and that's exactly why it's so important to learn to tell the difference.
I read a lot of articles here on DEV about burnout, impostor syndrome, and similar topics. I thought I'd add my own perspective because I have the feeling that some advice, often given with great confidence, can actually do more harm than good. The symptoms may be real, but the diagnosis can still be wrong.
Today I'd like to share my somewhat "engineering" approach to personal growth. Maybe it will help some of you. Because "just keep going" or "work harder" isn't always the right answer.
Impostor Syndrome
I do experience impostor syndrome.
