On first reading, this all makes sense. On rereading it and applying to myself, I don't know what to think. I do always feel comfortable even in new jobs/roles and think everything will work out, not because I think I'm so great but because historically it always has. I experienced imposter syndrome for about 1 week once, can't even recall when or where as it wasn't a significant event--it passed. Beginning to suspect that I'm a bit of a what's the correct term? narcissist, sociopath? Basically I trust my own self assessment strongly enough not to be brought down by external factors. Maybe I have my own mental "Trello board" (as mentioned in another comment) in my head of past accomplishments. I probably do have a bit of Dunning-Kruger which I think is a good thing--if you knew all the things you didn't know, you'd be paralyzed from doing. I believe my success is from finding hacky/pragmatic ways of getting things done, resourcefulness, not building the perfect thing.

Don't know if this will be of any help to anyone, but I thought I'd share a different perspective.
