I was going to comment something about how with modern tooling a lot of people (including me) can write working apps without being too advanced but from your description it sounds like you know quite a lot.

I don't think you have to take the label "bad programmer" because you don't ace job interviews. Those are contrived games anyway, if you practice you can learn to ace them but from your position it doesn't sound nessecary.

I'll also throw out that it's not binary in the other direction either.

There is always more to learn and as long as it's still fun I find that reading one more technical book usually does add value somewhere I wasn't expecting.
