Imposter Syndrome

What is Imposter Syndrome?

Impostor syndrome (also known as impostor phenomenon, impostorism, fraud syndrome or the impostor experience) is a psychological pattern in which an individual doubts his or her accomplishments and has a persistent internalised fear of being exposed as a “fraud”

Started a blog to share my code.
- Only posted 1 code example the rest have been Umbraco community posts.

I want to submit more Pull Requests to Umbraco CMS, but don’t.

I don’t talk ‘code’ to other developers
I don’t do ‘technical’ talks….. until today!

Imposter Syndrome is not just for developers!

Where to start?

Umbraco Cloud Setup Using Visual Studio and a PC

It’s simples…. Only if you know how!

Top Tips

Check the prerequisites before you start
- Visual Studio 2017 v15.9.6 or later

Each additional environment is €20 per month (starter plan)

Add team members so they can restore doctypes and database information

Back Office
- Restore

Hurdles with Umbraco Cloud

Not designed as an open source environment
- Would be nice to have Pull Request functionality
Each developer needs added to the project
- This allows them to get latest content
API keys need to be shared with everyone
- Maybe a Umbraco Cloud setting?

Limitations on Umbraco Cloud

IDN domains
- Not possible with Umbraco Latch
There’s an upper limit on hostnames
- 15 through the UI - Support can add more

Thank you the SWAT team!
