In an ideal world... it would be like that. But... Have you ever heard the joke of the 1st day of the human body and the discussion of the organs to see who would be the boss?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

20% of time coding.
40% of time testing.
20% of time documentation.
20% of time other. (writing bugs, learning, meetings, sending messages on CP  , etc.)
So if you're the best at coding, you're the best at doing 20% of the work and there is still another 80% to account for. Fair enough... If you're the best at coding, chances are you are probably going to spend more in the region of 40% of your time coding.
These percentages is in any case for the industry I'm working in, and I'm sure it varies depending on the industry you're working in.
"Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence."

Because I don't eat bacon and I have to admit I've never worked with a CListCtrl... 
We were talking about writing actual code? In that case I'm the best (like Gaston)

Sorry, your plane got stuck in my spaghetti code! And it's full of CListCtrls!

After all these plane crashes I prefer to just flap my arms really hard...

It was a soft landing for you because of all those code repetitions being like long-chain polymers - springy and stringy

Don't know  .
I'm probably the best when it concerns design and architecture, but there others who are better in web development or image processing. Moreover we all work on different projects so it is hard to compare and if, finally, you would discuss "what's best", opinions often differ.
So in the end what matters is that I spit out something that works (well)

I know I am the best, I can write code in efficient way, but the TIME given for Development, TEAM SIZE (that supports and Divide my tasks), DEAD LINES, SCOPE of CODE (May be not fixed much time), Requirements, always matters.
No matter How BEST developer you are, but if you running lack of above things you can not accomplish your task in GIVEN TIME and that will remove the "BEST developer" crown from you.
I think everyone has GOOD skill set that is capable to prove him/her as BEST developer but opportunity, support, task and TIME matters...!
