The two main questions I am addressing are 'How do I KNOW if I am a good programmer?' and 'How to I know my strengths/weaknesses?' What's all this talk about jerks and horrible people. I have opinions on those things, but I don't think they relate to my response. | |

Would you rather work with a nice person that maybe doesn't know so much but is willing to learn or with a total jerk that is a fantastic programmer in every way? So what you describe makes a good employee, not a good programmer. ;) | |
