You can be a mediocre programmer and do great things. You can be a great programmer and not achieve the success relative to your level. It's all completely relative. I'm an ok-to-decent programmer and turned a sizeable profit on $7k worth of time. I'm not putting my kids through college but improved my family's life and I'm content with that. Learn as much as you can. Build often even if they never see the light of day. You will always improve your skills by being active in it. At some point it will make you better for you. Don't compare yourself to others. Be better than you used to be. You'll be fine.
