Two things:

1. People come to me for advice and I was able to help.
2. Most of the things that I get stuck usually get solved by browsing GitHub issues and finding a workaround. Earlier it was just stackoverflow.I'm working on bigger problems now.

For me it will be when I became an authority in a given subject. At the moment I prefer to feel it everyday,it helps to keep me on my toes. And not get comfortable.

That said, I don't feel it when the buck stops with me and my domain knowledge is required. Lol
