Good musicians know they're good though. I'm not sure the comparison holds that well for software people. With music you have a lot more immediate feedback. You can record yourself and play back. You can see how long it takes you to learn something technically complex (if you even can learn something very technical). With software sometimes the outcome of decisions can only be seen years later and there's really very little in terms of absolute metrics you can rely on for feedback. Music is a hobby for me but in my circle I haven't seen people that thought they were amazing musicians but really are terrible.
