- Tenhundfeld 11y ago100% honest AND 100% correct. Many of the best developers I've worked with underestimated their abilities, and many of the worst overestimated. Experience can be similar too. Many of the best see themselves "merely" as an important contributor to a team effort and remember the mistakes they made, etc. Many of the worst honestly believe they did a great job, led the effort, etc.
