Are you a "confident" developer?

I am confident,because i can do pretty much everything i want to do with a computer

Wrong vote... I'm not confident at all

I'm so confident that I hit "just show me the results".

For me confidence is a mindset that is not related to what I do. I am confident in myself and my abilities. This usually then shows up in what I do and how I work. I do doubt myself and am aware of my limitations and where I need to learn more. But I always try to do things with confidence and state my opinions with confidence..

My motto is "confident sappers die on the minefield".

While is easy for me to understand and implement, I struggle getting started on new projects and technology. I wish I could have mentor who would show me the path.

My reaction of "well it depends on what you mean by confident" means it's probably a no.

Awesome question! I was curious to see how others feel.
For me, the old saying applies: the more I know, the more I realize I know nothing (or little). My confidence level peaked around year 4 or 5 in my dev career. Then the curve flatten.
I know much more now (comparing to the naive 25ish years old me), but I feel there are tons of things I still need to learn, and that I'm wrong many times before finding an answer😅.
So, I'd say, I'm not confident, I put a healthy dose of doubt in many things that I do. And it goes double when I'm working on heuristic things like software design.

Confident yes when working with a tech stack that you are familiar with and the project is straightforward. No when you are being asked to do something unfamiliar for the first time or being put under pressure where you have to figure something out quickly. Like water boarding I mean white boarding tests.

I am confident when my tests are green.

I guess so. But mainly concerned about scaling web apps as i have mostly been working alone :|

I'm confident in neuroplasticity, which in turn cultivates my technical abilities. While I'm still realistic about my abilities, I'm also optimistic about my abilities. Over the years I've produce results, and after each project I improve as a developer with fortified mental models.

It behooves us to remember that the human brain is pliable like any other muscle! Each time we learn something new, we undergo a neurogenesis, forming new brain synapses and neural connections. If you're not feeling confident now, then introspection, strategy, and a growth mindset will catapult you towards confidence. Happy Hacking 🚀

Depends. Most of the time I have confident in myself but due to imposter syndrome and burnouts I lose myself :c

I am. I write tests in software I work on.
