Three years experience, you're still barely a junior developer in my eyes. I bet the code you do write in PHP, Java or Python is reliant on the use of frameworks and libraries created by other developers who have more experience and knowledge in those respective languages than you do. When things break in those libraries, you probably don't know how to work around said issues.

I guarantee with your limited experience that you visit StackOverflow more than developers with twice your experience do. That the answers you copy and paste code from on StackOverflow were written by developers who know more than you, that the code you are copying and pasting you probably don't completely understand it some of the time.

The fact you say you've worked a number of developer jobs in the space of three years is a red flag to me. If I were interviewing you and you had a few jobs in the space of three years, I would be questioning if you voluntarily left those jobs or you were fired for incompetence (or other reasons). Having many jobs in a small space of time is nothing to brag about.

I've been working on the web for over ten years now and even I learn things on a weekly basis that I never knew. When you're working in the webspace, you will never know everything. The TC39 and other standards bodies are constantly changing the language, browser vendors are constantly adding in new support for said features.

I am not sure what you're trying to achieve here. You say, "I'm the best" and then in your next point you say, "I'm not boastful," I think you're confused. You contradicted yourself in your own article. You might have intended for this to be a challenge, but you come across as egotistical and arrogant.
