Do you have a place in SV? Not with an attitude like that.

You are an excellent coder -- full stop. You don't have to hold yourself to some kind of "rockstar" ideal to get a job. Or better said, you simply have to convince the hiring managers of SV that you are what they are looking for.

On the flip side, there are plenty of non-"rockstar" companies that could use your talents, I'm sure of it. Perhaps you need to adjust where you're looking for work?

For my money this means working on your soft skills, especially if you're on the job hunt. Network, talking to people (in person(!)), make yourself visible to the hiring managers. Soft skills should start paying dividends immediately, as opposed to cramming code into your Github profile to look like a "rockstar" does.
