[FRIAM] Book publishing advice needed

[∄ uǝlƃ]

Yeah, I agree. Personally, I'm very susceptible to imposter syndrome. I'm constantly worried about whether I belong somewhere or what I'm doing is useful. I think of it less as an inferiority complex and more of a general anxiety about whether or not I could be doing something more productive or if the team could be more productive (e.g. with someone else other than me). This is why I never have to turn down a project.  I often convince them that they don't want me. They want one of my friends, who actually knows stuff about things. 8^D

Being a software guy myself, I can only see it from that side of the fence; I can't speak to how the scientists saw things. I always felt a bit of an inferiority complex, as well as some hero worship toward the scientists. Part of this probably has to do with the supply and demand ratios for complexity scientists and software engineers. Geeks have always been in demand, and so it is easier to be somewhat mediocre and still be gainfully employed and well compensated. I suspect that scientists, particular theoretical physicists and mathematicians, have to really stand out in their field to be in demand.
