Looking at advanced Rust open-source projects makes me question my programming skills

Whenever I explore large Rust open-source projects, I can’t stop thinking how far behind I am.
I know comparison is unhealthy, but it’s hard not to feel like “I suck at programming” when you see such clean and complex code.
Did you feel the same at some point? How did you push through it?
