The duality of programmer confidence is brutal. Solo coding? You're basically the Hulk of software engineering—unstoppable, crushing bugs with your bare hands, refactoring entire codebases before breakfast. But the moment someone peers over your shoulder? Suddenly you're typing with your elbows, forgetting how to declare variables, and googling "how to exit vim" for the 500th time. The cognitive processing power required to both code AND maintain the illusion that you know what you're doing is mathematically impossible. It's like Schrödinger's developer—simultaneously brilliant and clueless until observed.
