10 = expert.
Yes, expert is honestly an undefinable term. But it's a term.
Ask yourself, what do I see as an expert?
Then ask "am I an expert?"
If you say yes, then you're a 9 or 10.
Are you a junior? You're probably 5-6.
Are you a new/beginner? 1-3.
Fill in the gaps as you see necessary. -
@Stuxnet 100% agree
Why I take issue with this question stems exactly from the gap between what I define as an expert and what the next guy sees as one...
I've also met devs that rank themselves 9 and every bloody stand up they say "this is taking a little longer than i expected"... -
I fucking hate this question... There are times I'm a 10 and others I'm a - 10 in the same language 😥

@r0b0t Love your honesty 👍👍
On most days I'm a Grad before coffee, Journeyman after lunch and only soar after everyone else has gone home 😀 -
Say 10 to everything. What are they going to say in response? "No way, you lying bitch!"?
I think not.
Stupid question deserves stupid answer.
