A great podcast here covering the Digital Garden movement from it's primary curator!
1. Write a blogpost on whatever is causing you impostor syndrome, with a disclaimer like this:

3. Understand that everything is a Remix.
Nothing is created completely originally. Copy, then tweak.
For example, you can copy other UI's and tweet what you do and learn as you go:
4. This career advice tweet thread.
5. Create the resource for something you need to self study anyway

I always reach for this when people talk about "greatness." It touches a lot of points I hear all the time (quantity before quality, thinking in "systems" instead of "goals," etc), but it's probably my favorite presentation of it.
It's a mindset shift really. Just focus on being good / decent at something, recognize that the lows will eventually have some highs, and don't stop moving (unless you really hate what you're doing). It's a quick read, but with some effective examples and takeaways. Permanent bookmark for me 😄

I've found this list very insightful.

Personal observation: I noticed that I acquired/exercised some of those skills while contributing to open source projects and interacting with the communities around such projects.

Hello, I would like to start contributing to open source. I am looking for something in TypeScript. Does anyone know where I can look at projects that need help?
Had my first coding interview in many years. I did OK, but was not good enough to move forward at this time. Internally, I feel like I know where I can improve for the next time.
I love many of the points here, and I'm actively working towards getting better.
Especially with the idea of writing code as observable configuration.
