I'm a little more comfortable with that fact now.
When I started programming I was everywhere because I wanted to do everything.
Then I chose to specialize in Javascript, it was decisive for me.
Then I decided to do only frontend and React only.
the mistake at this level was to want to use React everywhere.
Then I learned to analyze each project before choosing my technology and when it appears that the best thing is that something I don't know, I collaborate with someone who does.
Today I am no longer the hype of all new features/state of the art technology that allows me to do this or that because I want to be "efficient".
I know the basics: HTML/CSS/JS and even in 10 years it will still be that.

I think you want to be efficient too. We're all fighting this impostor syndrome right now. It's okay not to know everything for me, that's what you should keep in mind.

Courage to learn to manage this feeling, you will gradually find what is best for you so that it is no longer very present
