Answer 2

Confidence is a personal thing, and relative upon you. Some people aren't confident in anything they do, even if they're amazing at it. For myself, every time that I solve a problem, my confidence grows.

As for how many languages you should learn, it'll simply depend upon what you're needing to do. All of the languages I've learned applied to something I was doing during that time. In the 90s, I was more heavily focused upon C++, and today, I'm more focused on C# and Java. All of the languages I know is useful in their own ways, and I just think of them like tools on a tool belt. Use whatever tool is best for the job you're going to perform, and obtain new tools as you need them.
