I think most people in tech have severe imposter syndrome. If they are constantly working in or on something they feel they are falling behind. Or lack the passion to constantly be committing to a Github[0] project. In other professions this simply doesn't happen. Once you have your license, degree, or certification you're validated. You're not on a treadmill to constantly prove your competence.
BTW, I love tech but even I'm starting to get exhausted from the constant need to stay ahead of the curve. Now I do 1-2 certifications a year and leave it at that. Which is about what a practicing CPA would do for work outside of their job.
[0] Github is probably thinking, "now why am I in this?" don't worry you were just an obvious, visible example.

You're not on a treadmill to constantly prove your competence. If you become a lawyer or consultant, two other high-paying fields, you're next worry is usually "how do I make partner," and everything that's not in service of that feels like work that's holding you back.
