请问HN:你是如何克服冒名顶替综合症的?
我自大学毕业以来一直在YC支持的创业公司工作。目前我在一家开发深度分布式系统产品的公司,身边都是非常优秀的工程师,他们在各自的领域表现得异常出色。他们常常对一些我几乎不理解的事情拥有深厚的知识和直觉。
最近,我感到有些不自信——好像我更多地在为产品中那些不那么令人兴奋的部分贡献,而不是“酷炫”或核心的工程挑战。
此外,我还是一名移民,我和妻子正期待着我们的孩子。平衡这一点与全远程工作的生活确实很困难,有时我觉得自己失去了一些能力或敏锐度。我正在采取措施来应对这一问题——我很快会和心理医生谈谈——但我真心想知道:在一个高效的工程团队中,如何克服这些情绪呢?

I’ve been working at YC-backed startups since graduating from university. I’m now at a company building a deeply distributed systems product, and I’m surrounded by incredibly talented engineers who seem exceptionally strong at what they do. They often have knowledge and intuition about things I barely understand.<p>Lately, I’ve been feeling inadequate — like I’m contributing more to the less exciting parts of the product rather than the “cool” or core engineering challenges.<p>On top of that, I’m an immigrant and my wife and I are expecting. Balancing that with a fully remote job has been difficult, and at times I feel like I’ve lost some of my competence or sharpness. I’m taking steps to address this — I’ll be speaking with a psychologist soon — but I genuinely wonder: how does someone overcome these feelings while working within a high-functioning engineering team?
