Self-improvement piece once again. Why are people so obsessed with this? Imposter symdrom seems to be a thing I really dont get. It never really bothered me if i actually caused the bug when looking for the root cause- ok maybe sometimes you worry if you messed up just before the release but thats pretty much it. Maybe realizing that you dont need to be a great programmer to make a great piece of software helps.

Imposter syndrome for me is kept in check if I keep within my 'quota' of mistakes. It doesn't bother me if I am the author behind a bug (Normally every bug is an opportunity to understand the software we've built better), but if consecutive bugs come back to my work, then I notice it. And I notice it in others too, and then I want to see them putting effort into improving their skill, etc..

Quota.. is that something like a percentage of bugs you feel responsible for? That again would be comparing youself to others- not saying its a bad thing unless its bringing you down. Dont really know what im talking about here as i have never suffered from that. Insecurity yes, imposture sydrom no.
