Ever get that feeling you're the worst developer on your team? And worse - that it's not in your head, you actually are the weakest link in the room?

I've been on both ends. I've been the best developer on the team, and I've been objectively the worst

And here's the thing nobody tells you: they're each worse than you'd expect, just in different ways.

In this episode I get into what being the best actually cost me, why being the worst is psychologically brutal but might be the best thing for your career, and the one reframe that turned it around for me.
