You do realize, there is a sliding scale of confidence with all programmers? Specifically, confidence levels decline the more experienced and knowledgeable you become. Eventually you start talking in generalities, what should or should not happen instead of absolute outcomes. You'll start using words like "probably" quite often. You'll find yourself paralyzed by indecision. What's the best way to do X? What if I need to change Y? What would my peers think about this code? Golly, that will be a lot of work, maybe I shouldn't start that project... This is all normal, and I'd say it means you're becoming experienced enough to understand what you don't understand. When you're green... you'd just go forth guns ablaze regardless. The reality is, every good programmer thinks they are awful, and every awful programmer thinks they are amazing 10X developers. Be wary of overconfident programmers. Welcome to the club :) |

I wish people would stop saying this. It just makes me question myself more. Am I good because I think I'm bad? But then that means I think I'm good, but I'm pretty sure I'm not... and on and on and on.
Maybe I just overthink stuff
