Comparing yourself to people on the internet is pointless so I'll skip that. I've been working for about 5 years and out of the technical people I've worked with I'd say I'm a better programmer than exactly one.
At times it's because of laziness (didn't read up on X), at other times due to temperament (I refuse to hold on to easily googl-able information), but frequently it's because of limited working memory or lesser ability for abstract thought.
I'm aware of impostor syndrome but I'm not sure this is a case of it.
This isn't stopping me from contributing on every team I'm a part of, getting consistently good feedback, getting interviews however. I feel in general, as you can get most things done given enough or even close to too much time, then you are generally valuable.
