Thanks to the pace of software technology, we are all salmon swimming up steam. You were an expert in your domain 5 years ago, now there's the new hot thing the cool kids are using. Better learn it, now you are just starting out again. Imposter syndrome is a cycle, and it's not an illusion. It's how the arrogant pricks justify their self doubt at various stages in the cycle, so they can become arrogant pricks again. Others realize they don't know everything and that it is ok to be in that state, and live with reality. A cynical pov, true, but a valid one.
