Everyone doesn't feel like an imposter.
But most of us feel we're surrounded by them.
I hear "fake it til you make it" coming from children's mouths these days, not just startup hustlers.
This is exactly right. Been seeing this a lot, especially in the last five years.
Most of my tech interview strategy has adapted to weed out candidates that are imposters.

I do not think I have ever felt imposter syndrome, in all honesty. Do most people honestly feel this?

I commented before, but that was before checking your profile, web site and social media. Now I guess, I have a more personal recommendation.
Apparently, you've worked for the same company for over a decade doing data entry, you just passed your Lean green belt and you like tech.
It could be useful to look at business process automation, low code tools or robotic process automation. I've seen the combination of these things used for automating data entry processes in many industries, including yours.
There are many low code and RPA tools available (Mendix, UIPath, etc, just Google it) that offer free online training and certifications. These certs are not extremely hard to get if you have some interest in tech. For many companies in this field, hiring someone experienced with data entry, that can also do automation of those tasks is like finding the holy grail. Especially when you also have a lean cert.
It might be useful to look on Google for products like the one I mentioned and then look in your area for vacancies that require knowledge of them. Maybe there's an interesting opportunity in it for you!
+1. This is a very good and well-rounded response.
I might add that for tech engineering of any type, getting a BS in Computer Science (from a reputable school) is insanely helpful in the long run if there is an interest in going further in your career and it does not lock a person into one particular track.
The Hebrew use of chiasms is what first convinced me that a lot of hyperliteralist interpretations of the Torah were just ignorant.
A person cannot intentionally convert a story into a poetic structure without also distorting its literalness.
And the contemporary readers of the time would have known this as well.

Some useful insights for sure.
Although some programmers care about both product and code and know how to balance it: based on the budget.
Code-first programmers might have not had to face a deadline and a company running out of money. Not all of them are like this, but if you find yourself in this camp, I encourage joining a startup with some eyeballs into the finances as a way to balance that tendency to infinitely nitpick over small code details.
I love how the majority of modern science articles are people basically proving common sense.

The feminist left is convinced that humans are PURE Tabula Rasa and that NOTHING is biological - everything is either a choice or it's a social construct.
Far too many straight people have bought into this nonsense - thinking that men and women are 100% identical, which is not based in science (at all) but in ideology via indoctrination and bullying.
You have to become "red-pilled" (which is primarily a rediscover that there are biological sex differences and they affect behavior) to realize this today as a straight male.
Women only have an incentive to think about it otherwise when they hit the fertility wall and it's (often) too late.
This is one of the best summaries of this thought process I have read.

Am I not alone in thinking this Neo-puritanism is going too far?
Youre absolutely not alone. Im reaching a breaking point where I would not care how society treats Im bot going to let the new puritans take over.
