Yeah absolutely. I’ve felt impostor syndrome so heavy that quitting felt like the logical option. Not dramatic quitting… quiet quitting in my head. The kind where you start thinking, “Maybe I’m not built for this. Maybe everyone else is just smarter.”

But here’s the truth I learned the hard way: impostor syndrome doesn’t show up when you’re fake it shows up when you’re growing. Beginners are loud with confidence. The doubt comes when you finally understand how big the mountain really is.

There were times I shipped things while feeling completely unqualified. And then people used them. Trusted them. Paid for them. That messed with my head in the best way because the evidence started to contradict the fear.

I didn’t beat impostor syndrome by “believing in myself.” I beat it by doing the work even while feeling like a fraud. Consistency silenced the noise.

So yeah, I’ve wanted to quit because of it. More than once. But every level I reached only happened because I kept moving while doubting.

My journey in tech has been anything but smooth. It started with curiosity and big dreams, but the early phase was mostly confusion, inconsistency, and selfdoubt. I jumped between tutorials, frameworks, and ideas thinking i was “exploring,” but honestly, i was just avoiding committing to one path. that cost me time.

The biggest struggle early on wasn’t even code it was discipline. I would have weeks of extreme motivation, then disappear for days. i compared myself to people who were far ahead and used that as a reason to feel behind instead of using it as fuel.

My first real milestone was building something that actually worked and that other people used. that changed everything. it showed me that I didn’t need to be perfect to be valuable. Shipping small projects gave me confidence that no tutorial ever did.

Mistakes?a loooot. overcomplicating things. chasing trends instead of fundamentals. waiting too long to share my work because I thought it wasn’t “good enough.” also thinking I needed permission before calling myself a developer. I didn’t.
