I wouldn’t be so hard on yourself. I know what you are feeling and have felt it myself. One key is although you have many years of experience professionally, on any individual project, you are a beginner. Anything substantial, like you mentioned, takes consistent effort over years to build the complexity. I’m sure all of those projects started with hello world just like you will. Try not to compare your beginnings of any skill or project to someone else’s middle and definitely not their end. You’re fully capable of doing any of the things listed with time and it’s exactly that, a function of time. To me, the harder problem is deciding what to spend consistent effort on. After that, focus and enjoy the ride.
