Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will you master software engineering in a day. I've been writing code professionally for close to 14 years and I still don't feel like I know what the heck I'm doing, half the time. My suggestion would be to make sure that your feeling of self-worth isn't too intertwined with what you know and be comfortable with the fact that there is always something that you can learn.
What helps me get over my imposter syndrome is finding a way to learn one nugget of information per week (no matter how small) and celebrating it. It could be figuring out what a bubble sort is or it could be writing a hello world app in a new language. If you can find that nugget per week, you can conclusively prove to yourself that you are growing and that's worth more than gold, some times.
