I struggled with it a lot, along with general anxiety and depression, when I was working at my first software engineering job. I though I wasn't good enough or knew enough to do the job. It mostly went away after being treated for the depression, and I started gaining confidence in what I was doing.

Over the years, I've learned and come to accept that I'll never be able to learn about everything that interests me.

However, there's still a little bit that surfaces now and then, where I start to feel like I'll never be a dev again, particularly when I'm looking at entry level programming jobs.
