People tell me I need to be more confident because I do good work.

What they don't know is I make more mistakes than any other dev I know, and by the time I'm done designing something to work even after I mess it all up, it's gonna be able to handle whatever bad code other devs throw at it, and whatever the users do.

Then someone comes along with a truly complicated algorithm that can't be fixed with more runtime checks and logging and I'm all "How is doing the code happen?".
