Impostor syndrome sucks, but someone who just joined a new organization, is statistically, absolutely in way over their head.
The hard part to come to grips with is: that doesn't make them an impostor, it makes them a developer who just joined a new organization.
Now don't get me started on teams that make people feel bad for that. They suck and they deserve the revolving door of non-help talent that they end up invariably hiring over and over, because they can't retain talent.
