See it as a good thing, it sounds like you are surrounded by people that can teach you stuff and keep you engaged.

As long as you have interest in your work, I wouldn’t worry. :)

I think I might have felt the same around my 7-8’th year as a developer.

Now I am on my 13’th and seniority and accumulated knowledge just kinda snuck up on me.

Ps, I still feel humbled by others quite frequently, in fact, problably more now, since I am more aware of the soft knowledge gabs.

It's good to hear that from another experienced developer. In the end, we are doing a good work but this sense that "I'm a step behind everyone" is very bad. I think the secret is to know how to cope with this kind of feeling just by knowing that we can't know everything about all, and that's okay since you're doing what you love :)
