I ask myself the following questions
...
- am I overestimating my abilities?

I once wrote a very clever & complicated section of C code, and put in the comments of that section "I hope I am as clever here as I think I am".

A few years later, one of our junior programmers happened to be perusing that code and busted out laughing. She came to my office and said "I guess you were, because that code has never had a problem."

But to this day I always put that comment in a complex chunk of code.
