I'm very surprised that it ever started to fade. I still remember being at a meetup or something and knowing I'm a perfectly fine coder, but I have no idea how to talk code in these environments.

I still don't have the kind of textbook knowledge of software concepts to always do well in these in-person environments, but over time I've become okay with knowing what I know, and being able to acknowledge when I don't know something and ask for clarification.
