There are super good points here. WAY too much value is put on "confidence". I imagine because really talented folks are tend to be confident confidence is preferred because talent is harder to gauge. That's a shame.
"Culture Fit" is a really problematic state of mind. I totally agree that it locks in on a 'type' and reduces diversity. It's a dangerous, ego-maniacal, and lazy way to hire.

Appearing confident is completely unrelated to programming ability. confidence is a skill one needs to learn separately.
