+1 for being self aware. The question you need to ask is simple; What do you want to do? Just because you've come to the realization that you're not a good coder doesn't mean you cannot become a good coder. Most of software engineering is not about being clever. It's about being well organized and paying attention to details. Experience is largely gained, and wisdom learned, from screwing up. Then being able to recognize the screw up and understand how to prevent it in the future. I have a firm conviction that most people can become productive software engineers. The main impediment I've seen to getting better is lack of interest in programming or an inability to learn from past mistakes. This is why I gave your show of self reflection a +1. The fact that you are asking yourself this question, and doubting your ability, tells me you are willing and interested in learning from your mistakes.
