I still fall into that same trap. Oh wow these guys amazing (they probably are). But when you watch a presentation it has this weird effect of compressing what took them weeks/months/years to do into a 45 min presentation, making you feel really bad. I try to remind jr devs the same thing. I am showing you this thing I have been working on. They had no idea I was working on it. But suddenly I have hundreds of lines of code and it all 'just works'. It makes me look like a wizard to them. But I remind them I spent the past 4 months working on that thing, do not feel bad or stupid. It just takes time and failing thousands of times over and over.
