Impostor syndrome is not a syndrome. It is actually half truth, dressed up as truth itself.
The impostor knows within himself that he's not ready to bear a title, but in his eagerness for glory instead of service, what does the impostor do? He names himself titles he has no overwhelmingly gotten.
The human mind has a funny way to exaggerating one's capabilities in the bid to grow. In the end, if your LinkedIn proof says, Swimmer— Backstroke and freestyle specialist, one day, reality will test you based on your word.
Imagine the news comes in, John Doe dies at the beach while playing water volleyball. Now everyone's asking themselves, did he really lie about his LinkedIn achievements?
Ladies and gentlemen, the goal was never to look like a saint, the goal was to get into heaven.
If you can't code, it doesn't matter what your LinkedIn profile says, you'd never know the satisfaction of having built something.
Benedicamos Domino.
