Great interview! As someone who has aspired to be a teacher and has been enamored with learning and absorbing all I can, I find true value in meeting and knowing people like yourself, @bphogan. I’ve personally met some of your students, and it was profound the things we were able to learn from each other.
My question would be on the subject of imposter syndrome. I find that no matter how well I’m doing in my current career or any side project I undertake, I struggle. I always look for the best in people and overlook the worst, but, as I’m finding is common in tech, many of us see the worst in ourselves. During all your books and all your creative outlets, how did you cope with these feelings? (forgive me if I’ve falsely assumed you had those feelings) Did having a DE that you trusted and someone there helping the process along help in a major way?
