Maybe it’s because I literally do not give a shit about the company or it’s products or customers. I just want money. In fact, I want the opposite kind of imposter syndrome, where I trick the people hiring me into thinking I’m much more qualified than I actually am get paid a shit ton more money. Yes I know C++, Pascal, Assembly, COBOL. Please pay me $500k.

    "imposter" = capitalism

    it's just the disbelief at making $120k for simply writing functions into a thing (or in many cases even easier stuff than programming) which even in the case of programming, pretty much anyone could learn how to do, except you had the right college name and aced all the unnecessary exams that nobody will ever use and had the right connections and etc et al which don't actually make you any inherently better at what you do, but they were required anyway because how else will you hierarchicize people

    it's basically the starting steps to being commie
