This is so refreshing. Kudos to Dan Abramov for putting countless cases of imposter syndrome to rest, at least temporarily.

Totally agreed. I feel many engineers feel this way but can't say it. Really impressed to see the humility here.

Because there's substantially more 'perceived' pressure when you don't know for a fact that thousands of developers rely on your work or trust your authority via your follower count. Power absolutely changes one's mental context for taking action, and Dan Abramov is one of the most empowered people in the front-end world.
