It sounds like you've got a bad case of imposter syndrome. Many, many developers experience it.

It's rough; I had it when I first started my current position. My then manager said something that helped me, "We hired you for a reason. Don't worry about others".

There's no magic bullet to overcome it; but there are things you can do to help yourself. Just keep doing your best! dev.to/ice_lenor/one-useful-advice...

Thanks,
I already have heard about it - sure.
But to be honest: When reading about imposter syndrome I always think that "You do not have imposter syndrome. You are just bad. That's all" Sounds hard - yea.

I agree that I have to deal with this topic.
