Ruth, thank you so much for sharing. I love this article. It brought back not-so-distant memories of a poor environment exacerbating the problem for me too. "One day away from fired, for twenty-five years" really sums up the emotional burden of what this can feel like. You bring up such an important point that's often overlooked in imposter syndrome, trust. Everything starts with trust.
Awesome list! Thank you for sharing. I came across a couple non-technical books this year that touch more on the social and managerial impact of open source. (Social norms, distributed decision making, etc. Similar to The Open Organization). Might be worth a read for those looking for less technical of a book!
