Nice Article
Very nice article Chip. It all applies pretty well to me. Particularly the part about how consultants tend to need to learn new technologies a lot, so are always out of their comfort level somewhat. This is very true, and a big part of the reason I often feel like a fake.
The reality of course is that "knowing everything" is impossible - it's the ability to learn new things quickly, based off your other experience that is the key.
I don't know if it applies to others, but for me another contributing factor to this feeling is that I never have time to stop and reflect. I mostly do quick jobs (from 5 mins to a weekend), and there is rarely a chance to sit back and look back on the good work I have done.
