I feel most confident programmers have probably only worked in well architected and well resourced projects, or more likely small projects with clear requirements and easy implementations. The big systems with under resourced teams and loads of tech debt are needed to make any dev doubt themselves.
On the subject of who is "best", everyone has a different criteria. Someone who knocks out lots of websites has different skills to someone who's tuning old systems, vs CS researcher, vs startup founder who makes $$$. Which one is best?
