Imposter syndrome. If you're in good health and can learn, you'll be fine. Just don't be Homer Simpson at the nuclear plant.

Yep, and I've fought it my entire professional career really. It's only in the past few years when I took a new position with a good group of guys who recognize my abilities and trust me that I've really felt the confidence needed to give myself some credit. It's such a weird feeling, but even though I have a lot more work, I'm able to do it without so much doubt.
