Not a criticism, but I believe you have misinterpreted the meaning of "imposter syndrome". Imposter syndrome is when someone experienced and who gets credit for their accomplishments does not believe they deserve the credit or praise they receive. If you are a newbie, as you say, then by definition you cannot suffer from imposter syndrome.

The impostor syndrome is not for my experiences as a developer. It's for a different part of my life. :)

Also, I thought it had nothing to do with experience and was strictly about 'internalizing accomplishments' - at least that's what Wikipedia said.

Maybe I am over-assuming. Maybe you are right and I just suffer from low self-esteem. :(
