I was supposed to go to a local meetup yesterday. The two talks were about home automation with Go and about starting new embedded software projects in 2026. Both interesting.

But when I came to the place for the meetup I got a massive sense of impostor syndrome. Why should I be there and waste space, I know nothing about home automation nor embedded software?

So when the door at the street level was locked and I would have needed to signal someone to come down and let me in, it was a convenient point to just bail out and go home. I had no business being there with real professionals. I don't even know any of the folks there.

Sometimes things don't work out.
