Imposter syndrome! Its one of those things that goes hand-in-hand with the dunning-kruger (spelling?) effect... Many suffer from the former. Many, many others suffer from the latter (perhaps too many).
Trick is to understand that you dont know everything. You may not and most likely never will be one of those super-devs. BUT you could most likely still contribute very meaningful talent in other ways or areas. Perhaps you have the makings of an excellent team lead or product owner. Perhaps your interest lies in areas that are in more dire shortage and higher paying salaries that revolve around the programming world, rather than in it.
Point is, dont give up, keep doing what you're doing, learn more, play more, branch out and try different things. Get experience in the real world with some cool tech. Get a raspberry pi and some arduino stuff and get fiddling.
Build a robot. Build some funky home automation stuff. Build up a portfolio and some people and business skills. I guarantee you will get ahead if you can be generally good and keep improving yourself.
Thanks for the response, great advice 😄. I already do mess around with Arduino and Rasberry Pi as it happens, haha. Me and a friend are working on quite a fun Arduino project at the moment actually.
