Recently turned machine learning enthusiast wanting to enter the data engineering and ML field. Currently in database development, data warehousing, data integration.
I think you put yourself down way too much. Judging from the article and what I see in my industry, you're already better than 90% of the developers. Integrating different pieces of technology and code, and writing new code is pretty much what software developers are meant to do. Knowing that you have to do CI/CD, myriad of testings, and knowing how to go about doing it and all the options available to do it shows you know what you're doing. That's already better than most teams I see.
I met people who can get up and running with new stuff quickly, and others who know older stuff in and out. Both having their struggles with the other side.
Some are also simply good with talking to non-technical people.
I can't count how many super-devs I got introduced to by some non-tech folk that turned out to be barely junior.
Compared to some pros working at Facebook or Google, I'm probably mediocre.
Compared to some hacks working at some no-name company I'm doing rather fine I think.
And there are more of the last kind, hehe

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

Totally.
Also, many devs have different focus.
