Learning programming takes a really long time and you almost always think you know more than you really do.
In 2008, I thought I had mastered programming (that was about 5 years after I had started programming and learning intensively) - I was 2 years into my Software Engineering degree, I had built websites, Flash games, did AI stuff (ANNs and decision trees) and I even programmed an ATMEL AVR microcontroller to decode Morse Code from a binary signal on a circuit board.
... And yet, over the past 8 years (about 6 years after finishing my degree), I feel like I have learned more than I have ever before.
If you're curious, you will always find more things to learn.
