This is something amplified by online communities where you're barraged by information about so many different subjects, stacks, and the tech du jour. Much like anything the more you learn the less you find you know.

BUT you have to put this in perspective: talk to someone outside of technology and watch their eyes glaze over as they silently nod along.

Software development is a never ending learning process; it's what draws a lot of people to it. Certainly where I am we expect juniors/interns/students to be learning and to continue to learn. Don't be worried about applying for jobs where the tech isn't exactly what you know, there is a lot of transferable knowledge between stacks.
