I have been a dev for over 20y... and this feeling never goes away because of how fast-paced the IT industry is.
Don't I know it! Why does everything change so often lol
As a self-taught developer, this video motivates me a lot, thanks dude
Glad to hear it!
I like that you said being uncomfortable is actually good, because it gives you the motivation to grow
Gotta be pushed
embrace the uncomfort , if you are feeling uncomfortable then you are at the perfect place to grow. !!!!

I finished python full stack bootcamp a few months ago, and I am still suffering from that and I haven’t gotten a job yet but honestly man u just made me really giggle. Hats down to you no mf speak of this like you are. Thank you for sharing your experience
You got this broo, stay motivated you will land a job eventually
Man this is the best community on UA-cam
As a bootcamp graduate this is something I always struggle with. Thanks for this video man. Wishing you success and nothing less
It fades with time! Keep after it, btw what Bootcamp did you attend?

Hey thanks for sharing this. I'm a senior frontend engineer and I still have impostor syndrome. I guess it comes with the territory; there's always something you don't know about your job.
My senior engineer who’s been coke for 15 years told me he has imposter syndrome too. Blew my mind
@@JeremiahPeoples He's been on coke? lool..just
I really appreciate this video and you. I am starting my first tech position next week and I am also self taught. Everything you mentioned is what I am feeling now. Thank you again for your amazing content!
Thank you for sharing, this will be one of those videos I need to come back to time after time for reminders.
Watching someone close to me study medicine helped me realize that even after 10 years, doctors don’t know it all and have to continuously improve and research and that’s the method I plan to use.
I’m new to tech and still a student and after 3 weeks of focused and immersed learning, something just randomly clicked!! Then all of a sudden, these technologies and services have begun to flow. I’m at the stage of beginning to understand what I don’t know and I’m grateful for where I am.
Man, i really needed to hear this. Been struggling with imposter syndrome for weeks now. Somehow, even though I kinda know what I need to do. It's comforting to hear it from another person. Being uncomfortable is good, and its how I use that feeling to prove to myself that I am or can be better a developer.
This is great content, I love how you told a time where you've went through something similar. It's so relatable and comforting to know I'm not alone feeling like this, thanks man.
It passes with time and experience! keep ya head up
Great mindset man! The fact that you didn't give up and put in so much time learning skills for your job shows that you have willpower and perseverance. A lot of people don't realize that these traits will help a lot with being successful.
Thanks man! Hard work and mindset go a long way. I start at Slack in a few weeks
OMG Bro I Need This Video So Much. Just Got Hired As A Software Developer And I Was Losing My Mind Thinking I Was Over My Head. But This Video Put Me At Ease And Now I Can Take A Breath And Continue To Grow In This Field. Much Love Bro 💯🤟🏾
Just starting out learning to code and this video helped me with overcoming anxiety entering into the tech world. Tech has always been an interest of mine and this year I've decided to make that career jump! Thanks Jeremiah for an amazing video!
Man I have been watching your videos, and sorry to say this, but I never subscribed to your channel quite yet but when you dropped Hester and Payton ooooohhh man!!!! I am a Chicago Bears fan from Chicago born and raised, subbed for life man!!!! 😆
Gotta show respect to the real ones. I appreciate you subscribin! I was born and raised just two hours south #beardown!
This was so helpful. Its grounding to hear someone else experience what feels like is an isolated feeling. Thanks man, I needed that.
oh man! Thank you so much! I just started my first job as a self-taught developer a week ago, and this is exaclty how I feel! It was very inspiring to hear your story!
Glad I could help!
Pop lock & drop it still a slapper
I listen to it every morning. It defines who I am
I am a self taught developer too, I haven’t been to any college, and it always makes me feel inferior to those who has attended, your video has motivated me enough to keep on moving not to fumble and rather upgrade my skills, thank you very much ❤
self taught squaddd
Thanks for sharing your experience. I hear a lot of people saying that no company will let a junior touch their backend. I am surprised to hear that you got your first job as a Fullstack developer.
Even though I have a degree in computer engineering, I still have a strong impostor syndrome. My last job was not related to programming and I feel like the big challenge is getting your first job as a developer. After that, you just keep improving and you should be fine.
That pair programming is amazing for developing juniors! I just needed a chance to prove myself
This was inspiring and tangible for defeating imposter syndrome, thank you!
Absolutely
This made me laugh so hard and helped a lot. Thanks for posting!
lol glad you liked it!
This video damn near made me cry!
I am in the middle of my education to be a softwave developer and when I tell you the imposter syndrome is crushing me some times its an understatement.
As a person who experienced it, it does not last forever! You got this
Thanks dude. I’m just a 17 yr old and only able to talk to adults since only me and them have the same interests(I mean I haven’t found anyone in my age who is into developing yet). But I always feel like an impostor among them, I almost thought I was, but after these videos about how to overcome impostor syndrome I started to realize that I should have looked from the different angle
wow starting early!
Loved this video man! The football analogy was great for me as someone who grew up playing sports myself. I'm transitioning over from a materials science hands on background to learning front end development and this for sure helped give me confidence and realize there's nothing wrong with starting where I'm at. New subscriber!
Great to hear!
As a web developer designer I feel that a lot. How I deal with it in a healthy way is maybe there is some truth to it, maybe it’s revealing a skill set that I need to learn or improve. When I look at it honestly I get motivated to learn the language that I feel I’m lacking, causing my impostor syndrome, but I have to be careful. We all know no one person knows everything about the web or coding so I tried to take a realistic look at my skills, and look at what I can improve on, along with my strengths. Try not to compare myself to others. There is always going to be somebody who knows more about a certain code than I do, but I have to keep in mind that I may know more about some other aspect than they do, if I’m getting imposter syndrome from looking at everybody and feeling that I need to be perfect and the best, that’s unrealistic thinking and is going to cause me nothing but pain. In addition, I try to be honest with myself and my clients about my skill set. If I need to hire another developer to help me with the project, I will. I have to remember it’s about getting the job done for my client and not feeding my ego.
Everyone gets imposter syndrome. And if they don't, they're lying lol. Keep at it man. Love seeing your channel blow up!
My senior engineer who's been coding for 15 years told me the other day that he still has imposter syndrome from time to time. I was shook
This was pure gold!! Thank you!! ❤
Thank you for watching 🙏
Needed these words today. Didn't realize that impostor syndrome could manage to lurk in despite being in my 5th year in the industry. Thanks for this Jeremiah...
Glad this video is still helping folks :)
Yup...been a dev for 10 year now. I'm a senior and I daily feel like "I should be way better than I am"...it's draining. Mainly because I always feel like there's things that I SHOULD know but don't...and everyone around me seems to pick up things much faster. Not sure if I'm imagining it. I worked at IBM for over 6 years but still feel like I don't know a ton. Been at my current job for 2 years as a React Frontend developer and still feel like a junior..it's crazy. But I guess I'm not horrible...but I feel like my personality gets me further than my actual development skills do.
Thank you, I feel like there are a lot of people who need to hear this. I’m a QA engineer and still feel out of place sometimes but I’m a lot better now compared to even a year ago. It’s a process.
Right! we get a little better every day!
That Canvas in the back is fire and so is your desk. You should do a room tour or desk tour.
I'm uploading the room tour in an hour just because you asked !!
Thank you so much for this video. It's made a big difference to me right now.
Man, this was a great video, thank you for sharing! Please continue making videos!
More to come!
This was definitely a video worth watching :)) thanks bro :)))
Decided to watch another Dev imposter syndrome video after this and within 2 minutes, he was peddling his course…
Your videos hit different bro… I very much enjoy your content:))
That was what I needed right ther. That bit at the end finished it off right.
I forgot what I said, but I’m sure it was fire
Thanks for this. This has actually really taken some of the pressure out of the situation and shown me a different mindset (so mission of video accomplished basically).
I’m glad it helped! I need to watch it again myself because I’m starting a new position
@@JeremiahPeoples Cool. Will keep an eye out for a video about it.
This was SO HELPFUL!!!! Oh my goodness! I was so down on myself just putting myself every day (literally to the point of crying). Thank Yah (God) for allowing you to make a video like this to encourage me during my insecure moments.
I'm really glad this helped. I know the feeling well, and I thought I was the only one!
Awesome video. The only thing I did not agree with is that you mention that impostor syndrome goes away with time. Impostor syndrome will kick in even if you have 20 years of experience. Because you will eventually move to a new team, technology, role or company which will trigger your impostor syndrome. If you never feel impostor syndrome, I would challenge you if you are doing things outside of your comfort zone or just doing the same type of tasks over and over again. As you mentioned in the video, there are ways to reduce the impostor syndrome episodes and that is to work on yourself, you mentioned some good points in this video :)
Your video motivates me, currently working as a first programmer job one month, I feel very uncomfortable because I have not idea how to do.
I needed this so much
I'd like to thank you for this video man, I really appreciate it!
Glad it was helpful!
Perfect timing to hear this. Thanks for sharing.
I’m an entry level French teacher, this is excellent advice!!!
I really need to. This comment is W
as someone who is self taught also...i found doing complex projects on my own time and analyzing what i accomplished solved imposter syndrome.
imposter syndrome loves to wreck my mental health. i can't tell if i'm truly an imposter or not or if i'm lying to myself to keep going 🤔🙃
I had super bad imposter syndrome this week 😭
My biggest fear is that someone's going to hire me in tech only because I'm a woman and I won't know anything and I'll make a complete fool of myself. In my pervious jobs/career I knew what I'm doing at ''all'' times. In tech however, I feel like I never know enough. I guess I need to get comfortable sitting in the feeling of being uncomfortable. Btw, a career switcher here :D Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for this brother. Really.
Absolutely. Thank you for watching
Dang, you was gettin jiggy on the field bro 😭but great and very motivating video 💪🏽
Great video bro. Programmers are not supposed to know everything off the top of their heads but instead research everything needed to create software. #we-all-started-as-noobs & #you_are_not_an_imposter!
Very well said 👏🏾
You’re an inspiration, young man👍🏾
Just telling my story!
Awesome video Jeremiah! Keep on keeping on!
Always!
Thanks man really motivating!!
Glad to hear it!
Love this bruh, no one tells you this tbh. ❤️
I spit straight facts here lmao
It comes in waves, even if you have a set job and "made it", and let me tell you i needed this video. Thank you
It absolutely comes in waves!
You inspire us lot!!
Thanks to share your experience..
Love sharing my fails haha
thanks fam that means alot
Total side note: have you ever heard you look a loooot like Mamoudou Athie. Archive 81 is also a solid watch if that genre is your vibe.
Every day
Thanks a lot, Jeremiah. This inspires me.
Anytime, I hope you continue to enjoy my videos :)
thanks fam that means alot
thankss for a greaat video, will do the tipss! 🥺
I appreciate it! Good luck
This was awesome!
Love your content! Gained a new sub
Thanks Naiad!
Nice video man like always! Thanks and also centennial high school? Lol
i feel like an imposter in every tech job I get. sometimes I really fail to turn up for some good opportunities because of the fear of judgment😔
Thank you
UPLIFT
Oh so this is kindve normal I’m noticing. Thank you bro 🙏🏽
I've always aspired to be normal lol, thanks for watching
@@JeremiahPeoples I read somewhere that the highly experienced and skilled tend to suffer from impostor syndrome while those without are insanely confident lol 🙏🏽
Love this! 🎊
You're just supporting the channel huh🤔 Glad you're liking the vids
I'm interested in software development but unsure where to begin. What courses do you recommend as a starting point?
Freecodecamp.Org
Dammmm the little song kept me wanting to hear more
My editor went stupid with this
Thanks for sharing 👏🏿👏🏿
You bet
Oh fo sho, anytime!
A new sub here. I like the video.
Thanks Frank! What kinda content would you like?
What do you do when you've coded for 20 years and still have to learn new tech that comes out every 6 months, and still have this feeling?! Does it ever go away?!
And i also use gpt4, so can develop faster and learn faster but at the end still feel very amateur.
Wish you good luck 🤟🏻👍🏻
I appreciate this video 🥰
I appreciate you
curl up in a little tiny ball and look at the ceiling. LOL!!! Awwww po baby. LOL!!!! Man I'm feeling the same way right now. I just got my Security Plus Certificate and I know literally nothing about cybersecurity. SMH. Totally lost at this point. Just trying to get that first gig and change careers.
Same with me when it comes to Mac
Love you bro ❤️
Thank you!
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Words I needed to hear whilst job hunting!
What courses would you recommend on Udemy ?
Colt Steele’s full stack course
When I saw the title I thought the imposter syndrome meant among us XD
Close enough
The Imposter Syndrome is a real issue. I always just remind myself I don't need permission to learn and make mistakes. It's an assumed part of development.
I am a flutter developer. Makes things easier for multiplatform development
thank you
what about the crewmate syndrome
What's that?
@@JeremiahPeoples oh u didn’t get it
Hello brother, been trying to validate my img but it ain't validating, I have actually done everything shown on the error message yet it's still not working. Can you help out please?
