> Constantly wondering if I'm good enough to keep my job, though.

I wonder this quite often too. It would be interesting to see a study involving programmers and their confidence in their skills compared to what other people think and also how much they read about programming online.

My gut instinct is to say that because we want to read a lot of new/interesting stuff online, we're exposed to (seemingly) tons of people who know TONS of things that we don't know in the aggregate, so it affects our self esteem...

I'm surrounded by the people we read material from, the guys who write it all. I try to learn everything I can from them. I'm just hoping I can express a level of competence that enables me to keep my position. The longer I can keep it, the more I'll learn, the better I'll be a year from now and after.
