This may sound mean but truth of the matter is - a lot of people think they're way better than they really are.

I wouldn't trust most working developers I've worked with to be able to deliver me something decent from start to finish, alone.

That's why companies have BAs, managers, testers, etc. Because doing it solo is a rare feat, unless we're talking gluing a wordpress theme together, in which case I'd recommend they look into squarespace :)

I have the same feeling for a lot of my CS university peers but yeah like you implied being on its own is a different situation
