DACHfest 2018 - Impostor-Driven Development: Impressive but Completely Wrong - Svetlana Sharipova
Channel: DACHFest

A lightning talk presented by  Svetlana Sharipova at the DACHfest 2018

It’s 4 am. You are sitting in the screen light focused and horrified. Already burned out, but the adrenaline from deadline keeps you in the dark. Only one night left to learn everything the world knows about programming. Your reputation, job and future are at risk. NO ONE SHOULD KNOW YOU ARE A FRAUD.

The talk is based on personal experience of being a high performer by exploiting impostor syndrome. While it might be sane in the short term, it leads to anxiety and burnout when used for some period of time. How about using it during 3 years in a corporate culture that doesn’t tolerate failure and open feedback? What if your manager knows how to benefit from your weakness?
