problem is that too many mediocre programers identify themselves as the Alpha engineer.

  Indeed. 90% of people think they are in the top 10% of performers.

    And the other 10% are told by psychologist that they have a Self-esteem problem. Society as a whole is to blame for the 90% believing they are part of the 10% best. If society had its way it would be a 100% of people believing they are part of the 10%. And the spark that created this was created by psychologist. Which are also responsible for the high percentage of narcissist (compared to previous generations) that our society have. Before: you had to actually do something to prove you are an alpha. Now: people believe by default that they are alphas while the rest are betas. This is terrible, because those who would could actually become alphas would not do it, because they believe they are already alphas, so they do not work as hard. Because of this society as a whole is getting worse, not better.
