Claims that impostor syndrome is common even minutes before going on stage, that job titles don't determine who can write great docs, and that inclusion grows results in practice. Cites a recent marathon where top-five Boston finishers were non-professional runners as an analogy. Describes concrete actions: joining the Write the Docs organizing committee, learning GitHub to update the conference visiting Portland page, doing public speaking and community work — all implemented and successful, not just inspirational talk.
