You sound like a standard new CS grad. You have a smattering of experience with a bunch of technologies, you've interned, and unlike many, you seem to have a good grasp that you don't know everything. Maybe you're not going to be that fabled, leet 10x developer everyone thinks they want to be or thinks they need to hire. My advice? Avoid companies thinking everyone they hire needs to be a leet developers. My experience has been most of the people running those kinds of companies are incapable of finding their rear ends with both hands.

So what if you're an average developer? Average developers are still making a good living. Here's the thing - you want to get better! That already makes you better than 90% of the average developers I've ever worked with! I'm not even joking. Don't be too hard on yourself. Get a job in the field, and grow. With your attitude I bet in five year's time you'll be awesome!

So just get out there and start working toward awesome!
