> many employees, including myself at past points in my career, think they're good employees but they're not

Any clues on how to test if I'm in that position, or am I actually a good employee? Is there a chart somewhere I could fill and see my actual "employee desirability" score?

My problem is I finally, after many years of battling impostor syndrome, believed that I'm not that bad a programmer. So now I started worrying about this thing you mention...

You mean you've started to get impostor syndrome again?

Well, I'm not sure, but I don't think so. It's probably my normal depression reinforced by a naturally pessimistic outlook on life this time.

Having realized that you're not bad, you overcorrect and start thinking you're good. But when you think you're good, you're not as good as you think you are. And if you really are that good, it's best not to think so (or at least to act like you don't think so).
