How to Share Your Work Without Fear
Rachel Carden
/bamadesigner
Sharing your
work means
playing an active role
in improving your
community.
the fear of imperfection,
of not being good enough
feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy,
that you do not deserve any success you achieve,
feeling like you are a fraud
and will be "found out"
Impostor Syndrome
Depression
Simply feeling “i’m not good enough”
For many devs, these are bigger problems to overcome than code issues.
#TBH
Imposter Syndrome: be honest with yourself about what you know and have accomplished & focus less on the difference.
The way you think
about the way you think
impacts the way you think.
- Chris Lema, @chrislema
The reason we
struggle with insecurity
is because we compare
our behind-the-scenes
with everyone else’s
highlight reel.
Steve Furtick
"There are thousands of programmers who need help and better tooling.
What they don't need is snark, superior attitudes, or your approval."
How you make others
feel about themselves,
says a lot about you.
Being mean is not a best practice.
You will never
be able to stop people
from judging you,
but you can stop it
from affecting you.
You
Are
NOT
Your
Code
"No, you're not perfect.
But you're not your mistakes."
