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 answer๐Ÿ˜….
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.
