Building software is actually one if the times I've felt least like an impostor (bordering on not at all?). It certainly is much better than science grad school in this respect, which is likely due to fast feedback from the compiler, your tests, and your peers. Seeking out feedback at all levels that you can find it is vital not just for happiness but also for growth, and it doesn't always come in the form of a paycheck.

I definitely agree with this. It's very cool to see something you've built actually work more-or-less correctly. In science all I get are maybes.
