I put in the work. I once heard a very good fencer say that the way they keep calm during competitions is to tell themselves that they've put in the hours of training and the blood, sweat and tears necessary to win. I spend hours of my days writing code, reading about how to become a better programmer, constantly analyzing my work and finding ways to improve. I'm not going to spend my time worrying about whether I'm a good programmer. I will be a good programmer.
