On Secretly Terrible Engineers
I read this article, and I think to myself: "My goodness. This sounds just like graduate school."In CS grad school, impostor syndrome is everywhere. Nobody talks about it. Everyone -- from the professors to the masters students -- is strongly affected by it.The more you advance, the more taboo it is to talk about it, even though it doesn't go away. I understand the successful people just "get used to it" after a while.Or maybe it's just me. If it is, wouldn't that be a certain kind of delicious irony?
