I never considered myself a great developer. I studied design at university because I wanted to broaden my horizons but I already knew that I eventually end up coding at some point (just because I enjoyed it so much). I guess it took me around 8 to 10 years to get confidence in my work. Now around 20 years after starting to learn how to code, I'm runing my own studio. managing some code projects for major cultural institutions, a AR project and the manufacturing a physical product. Still not a great coder, but probably a good generalist.

My advice is focus on the skills you're good at, the ones that bring you joy and the ones that other value. Make sure you keep challenging yourself and getting better at whatever it is that you do. Also keep yourself curious about the world and the people living in it. Things will will eventually work out just fine.
