    I think I actually suffer from this. First I have heard of it.

                I have worked with some programmers who seemed better at it than me. I am not sure whether that means I am good or not?!

                  WHS. The OP is probably a pretty poor contractor.

                    I guess it depends how long it takes for you to deliver something and whether or not you get better offers coming along? How long is a piece of string?

                    At current gig we started as 3 contractors, I am the only one left after 3 months. This contract is at the top end of rates outside London for my skill-set so I won't be moving unless contract finishes and there is no renewal..... I guess that says I am good, but that doesn't mean I walk around with that attitude or don't make other excuses (like the other 2 were really bad and I must be okish).
