There’s a type of Impostor Syndrome—and I'm not sure what to call it—where I can’t figure out how to do something properly and all of the reference material is other people doing things *improperly*. The impostor bit is "I can't possibly be approaching this correctly." But I am.
-
Examples of this: - Everyone seems to ignore the "93 critical vulnerabilities" at the end of a
npm install
operation - Contentful material seems to all say to generate a GitHub personal access token for webhooks (it gets access to ALL my repositories, though… can't be right.) -
- for a long time, my SAM (AWS Lambda) deploys seemed unstable because I'd pared back the IAM role's permissions to only allow what was actually needed, and when SAM changed this minimum, it seemed like nearly no one else was affected (they mostly all just use wide permissions).
