Recommended Imposter Syndrome

Description

The image is a two-panel meme: the top shows a YouTube recommendation page with the video title "Not Everyone Should Code" by verified creator PolyMatter, marked "Recommended for you" with a red underline. Nearby visible text includes a duration label "8:47," another recommendation reading "Marty Lobdell - Study Less Study Smart," and cropped text near the top including "12 years ago." The bottom panel shows a close-up of a white cat with watery, sad-looking eyes, representing the viewer's crushed reaction. The technical joke is that recommendation algorithms can accidentally hit developers exactly where imposter syndrome and gatekeeping already hurt.
