To give you some perspective, in my case I already finished my degree in Comp Sci, I'm currently working for a multinational company in which I'm 7 months in already worked on a client project and I'm being reassigned to another project. Before that, I have already been programming for like 3 years with all the experience I got from college and online courses. Still, I struggle in a 'professional environment' and in the first project I was in, it was really massive and everyone could see I was the least performing dev on the team.
That's not the first area in which I've been in the same situation, but I wouldn't worry much about it tho. More than an actual issue of lack of experience is an issue of lack of confidence. Truth is, there will always be a lot to learn and several languages and technologies in which you could look like a 'newb' so realize all you have done so far and all the potential you have for doing much more awesome things.
That 'being a fake' feeling probably will never leave but it doesn't matter because you can still do epic stuff in spite of it. There are a lot of people out there with great ideas & intentions that will probably never see the light because they lack the courage to put those ideas into action, their worry of being 'exposed as a fake' is greater than their desire to create great things.
