Try not to worry about it. Because seriously, no matter how good you are, there will always be room to doubt yourself. Software development is full of people who will always be available close at hand to make you feel like you're not good enough. You'll never be good enough. People even tell Rob Pike he's doing it wrong, all the time.
Focus on getting things done, and keeping an open mind, and learning. And try not to let the possible negative vibes get you down.

Also try to ignore the temptation to feel like it is all very easy for everyone else. I find that the feeling of failure is often its worst right before I make a breakthrough. After about the fifth time of thinking this is too hard for me, I can't do it, then doing it, I realized this is a pattern for me and learned to ignore the feeling of it being too hard.
