If I didn't have some level of delusion a few years in, continuing might have been very daunting. At some point I believed I was the best but, looking back, I was just starting to get competent at reading documentation and moved away from trial-and-error. It was healthy in that I remained enthusiastic but I think it may have held me back sometimes. I ignored good advice from a very experienced person many times.
Maybe there's some filter there where you kind of have to inflate your opinion of your own work to keep at it? It's better to balance it with some doubt, make sure your opinion is based in reality and continue to learn but, for those I've seen who don't really do that... at least they're still showing up. That's half of it.
