Rule of Thumb, which might apply or not (;-D): People who think they are good usually aren't! There are many reasons why people would come to you to ask for help or why you are more successful then colleagues. E.g. in my company we have a guy who thinks of himself as a web developer but thinks that CGI is the protocol the browser talks to the web server. It is not hard to be the best in such an environment. Don't compare yourself inside your company! Compare yourself to the rest of the world! Look on GitHub, read blogs, talk with people on software development mailing lists. If you still feel stronger than most people around you, you probably are.
