Don't worry about impostor-syndrome (everyone has it).
It seemed like around the time I was graduating college, there was this kind of culture of hotshot programmers, which looking back was kind of toxic.
It was all this "he's good", "he's not good", and it kind made you afraid to admit you didn't know things (for me anyway).
And for a long time I went around with this imposter-syndrome, thinking I should know everything (and knowing that I didn't).
And now, with a bit more experience, I realise, not-knowing is the default. Things change so quickly, no-one can know everything. One person might be better in one area, a different person in another. There is no absolute ranking.
Better to admit this. We're all continual learners.
