    50 - Imposter Syndrome

    Imposter syndrome is a topic that some engineers and developers struggle with. It’s basically a type of self-doubt. WebMD has a good description and some good ideas for fighting self-doubt. Ways to combat imposter syndrome: * List out your accomplishments on a regular basis (keep it in a Google doc) * Review the list * If you receive compliments, record them (make a copy, write it down, take a screenshot) and store those too * Reminder: you will never stop learning. Embrace it! Sponsor 🚨 Python devs, this one’s for you. If you’re tired of struggling with context-unaware coding tools, let me introduce you to a game-changer I’ve been exploring: Zencoder. Here’s why it’s caught my attention: 1️⃣ Python-friendly to its core. Whether you’re building web apps, analyzing data, or automating tasks, Zencoder delivers context-aware suggestions that actually understand your project. No more “guessing” code completions. But don't worry it supports other programming languages as well! 2️⃣ Custom AI agents you can create and tweak. Imagine having a bot that automates your repetitive Python tasks—refactoring, testing, debugging—leaving you free to tackle the fun parts. 3️⃣ Natural language to code magic. Want to build a quick game for fun or a Python script in seconds? Just describe it in plain English, and Zencoder makes it happen. (Yes, it’s that good.) I’ve also been loving how it seamlessly supports unit testing and bug fixing—a massive time-saver for clean code lovers like me. Check out Zencoder if you’re looking for an AI assistant that actually gets Python devs: Get full access to The Python Show at www.pythonshow.com/subscribe
