Nobody in tech knows it all. The best example I could bring up to illustrate this, is the my coworker who sits right next to me. He's a wizard. If you use Ruby for anything slightly more substantial, chances are, you've relied on at least one project he's heavily involved in. I, on the other hand, technically only finished my apprenticeship a bit over half a year ago, and while I did spend 3 years at university before that, I'm still very much "the new guy". And yet, I still get lots of questions every time CSS or JavaScript is involved, and I'm not even all that knowledgeable about those.
Everyone has to specialise in some things, and it's completely normal to just not bother with learning everything. Nobody has the time nor the brain to pull that off.
And finally: Always keep in mind that you're not being paid to "be a programmer", but for solving problems. You don't need to "be a programmer" to post articles on dev, only to have something meaningful to say. Don't try to "be" or "become" a programmer, just enjoy programming.
