Ask HN: I'm afraid I will always be a mediocre developer

Hi everyone!

I'm afraid I will always be a mediocre programmer. How can I become better?

Everyday on HN I see some coder come up with an amazing algorithm/piece of code/software, and I think to myself "WOW, that is brilliant" and the next thought is "I will never be as good as these guys".

Can you give me any advice?

P.S My daily job involves php/js, but I'm trying to move on from them to some other language (Learning GO now).

Thank you.
