New job update. Oof and impostor syndrome size is large when you go from knowing everything (because you invented most of it) to knowing nothing. Whoda thunk it? The temptation to run back to the Comfort Zone is correspondingly large :D

I still don't have a workable laptop either. However, I'm told that one should arrive tomorrow, at home, when I'm in the office.

@nivrig I always found the first week to be incredibly tough. Usually involving crying in the bathroom stall.

@mo @nivrig I feel you. Am 9 months into a new language, new frameworks, new cloud, new code and still am not sure if I'm a good fit or an imposter

@sldrant @nivrig been in this career for 22 years and still feel those things 🙂

@mo @sldrant heh, think I’m on 28.

@nivrig @mo good to know I don't have to move into management, or another industry though. So much of IT is really young, I was wondering if it systematically forced older workers elsewhere

@sldrant @nivrig what’s wrong with being in management? 🙂
