IMPOSTOR SYNDROME - when an experienced programmer feel like a perpetual beginner

I've been programming for 6 years and I feel like I'm a perpetual beginner. Do many other programmers feel this way?


Answers from different programmers:

Yes, it's called Impostor Syndrome. If you want to see an army of beginners, walk into a high tech company full of experienced programmers.

Well, that's pretty the same thing for 99% of devs.

When you start questioning yourself, that's very good - means that from now on, the real programming starts.

We grow in cycles and you need to invest most patience when you doubt yourself the most! and just go to that online course or book or repl and just to a tiny little program.
