Most developers are self-described as better than average. I have always loved the study that showed almost 80% of drivers felt that they were better than most. How can that be? Obviously, the reality of that statement can’t be true. What I’m fascinated with is how most people aren’t realistic and overestimate their own capabilities. This phenomenon is not just with driving, but in a whole host of other cases including stock market trading (where most traders think they are better than almost all others), individual health (where people believe they are healthier than they really are), IQ (where a study showed that 94% of professors rated themselves above average relative to their peers), and many other examples.https://solutionstreet.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/DecemberTitle.png
