I see this all the time. people harp on about 'fake it until you make it' when I think the bigger unspoken problem is the tendency to overvalue confidence over competence. I would much rather work with someone who values both confidence and competence.
- angersock 13y agoAgreed, but note that in business you tend to die due to confidence issues well before competence ones. A mistake due to incompetence can almost always be fixed later, especially if you can look critically at it and learn from it--this is how engineering works. A lack of confidence, though, means that your skillfully laid-out system never makes it into production because you can't bring yourself to flip the switch. In business, in a startup, the winner is clear.
