I get the impression you've created and become fixated on some notion about what you're "supposed" to know / do based on and relative to what you see online.

Basically, A tech-centric version of Facebook angst - "Everyone is hackier than me!" in place of "Everyone is happier than me!"

Understand that in either case you're getting a carefully curated version of the best and most interesting outcomes with all the countless failures and mundane daily struggles neatly cropped out.

Stop reading the news, keep learning and keep iterating.



I get this feeling constantly, deeply crippling. Both facebook angst and the tech versions actually. I guess that's a problem when you single yourself out and lose touch with reality.
