How do you know how good you are at something?

There seem to be two extremes:

Impostor syndrome (thinking you're terrible at it when actually you're OK or even good)
Dunning-Kruger syndrome (thinking you're great at it when you're terrible at it)

Obviously this is an over-simplification.

People in the latter category get a lot of hate, but I actually think it's a much better place to be. Confidence is key to success.
