Imposter syndrome is a stage you have to go through. It sucks. It feels terrible. But it's necessary.
The thing is, you are an imposter. You are doing something for the first time, acting like you know how to do the thing.
But there's no other way to get the reps. You gain knowledge, try something out, learn, and repeat.
Eventually, you really become what you are working towards.
So don't give up because of your feelings. Yes, you are an imposter... for now. Soon, you will just be the thing you are impersonating. Then you will be undeniable!
No excuses!
