I have no love for many of the labels thrown around our community. This desire to label people as if they where unit tests furthers the imposter syndrome we all feel, it exadurates the issue for juniors and raises abnormal expectations for everyone, how fast can I type, do I fit in here, everyone is much smarter than me, look at that girl she's a 10x developer, how can I best that. I know many outstanding developers but I can ring around them in JavaScript land and they can run rings around me in Java land, but when it comes to problem solving we can be equally stumped.
I never felt ashamed when working with such developers, instead, i was really motivated to learn and improve. exactly thanx to their attitude.
how we might feel when comparing to others, if we put too much pressure on ourselves and if we have imposter syndrome does not depend on the labels around.
( but i agree, those labels, expecially if used by recruiters are quite annoying)
