I don't know if this question can be adequately answered. There's enough to say about this as there is to learn about programming as a whole! In my experience I've found that the best thing to do is to just keep making things, challenge yourself, be humble, and remember that you will never be as good as you want to be. Someone out there will always be better and measuring against someone else is usually the best way to take the wind right out of your sails. Don't do it. Just be better than you were yesterday. I measure myself like this: I ask, "would I have been able to build this a month ago"? If yes then it's time to start challenging myself.
