Beware of thinking you should be expert in every sub-area around programming.
Accept the fact that you there will always be areas where you are uncomfortable. Areas that are not (and maybe never will be) your core strength. Some programmers are git experts, some are regEx gurus and some will improve the ci/cd pipeline while compiling the code. It's so easy to compare yourself with the gurus of their expert sub-domain and the imposter syndrome can hit you really hard.
You are so right. It is easy to think that every professional programmer knows everything about everything. In reality, it couldn't be further from the truth. I am already starting see which areas I (and other team members) excel in and areas where I need to sharpen my skills. More importantly though, working in a professional environment has opened my eyes to the wide range of things that I didn't even know existed before (example: crontabs) which may be future areas of interest.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

Thanks for the advice!
