TIL the original term was "imposter phenomenon". Phenomenon because feeling like an imposter is a natural reaction to feeling insecure in an environment where other people hide their insecurity.

Fake it till you make it is another way of framing it.

Or: learning on the job

@deliprao In The Netherlands, they decided to ditch the quotas. Dairy farmers started expanding, producing more milk than the factories could handle, lowering prices, which is ultimately bad for dairy farmers.

The small dairy farmers suffer first, but ultimately it's a race to the bottom.

@Maaikees In other words: it can also be a symptom of knowledge silos, which can be a result of lack of modularity.

[Scato Eggen @scataco]

@Maaikees The opposite of staying busy is flow. PRs can have a positive effect on flow if you use them to swarm on a complex change.

This only makes sense if your code base is so complex that only certain people know how to change certain parts.

@LeaVerou Since shy is considered by many people to be an undesirable trait, the opposite should be a desirable trait, right?

How about: audacious?

@jocrossick Sounds good, except I agreed with the discomfort.

I would say: "it's nice to feel comfortable, but this status quo is not always the best situation for the team/department/company as a whole" and I would add that there are healthy and unhealthy levels of discomfort 😁

[Scato Eggen @scataco]

@jocrossick I know there's a difference between "comfortable with the status quo" and "lazy". Then again, people want to be understood, so nobody likes to be alone on a knowledge island. Is there a way to reframe the above to avoid the former but include the latter?

@deliprao Same. Also Google search results.

I had to relearn sitting down and reading blog posts in order to understand a problem that couldn't be solved with copy-paste from Stack Overflow 😅

[Scato Eggen @scataco]

@deliprao I think as just listening to a podcast where someone explained how regulations sometimes give you more freedom.

@ctrlshifti Joke's on them. Everyone knows replies and comment sections are just a mirror for the most rotten people on the internet... O, wait

[Scato Eggen @scataco]

@ctrlshifti I used to work at a company that wanted to help others by making software. Making software that was useful, and that we can feel proud about. The money was a means to an end. It was necessary to enable us to keep doing what we liked to do.

Totally different vibe than big corps.

@johncutlefish I guess most software products are like old cars: they usually get you to where you need to be, but the journey is noisy and once in a while they break down completely.
