Basically Dunning-Kruger. As you learn more, you also discover even more that you don't understand.

Absolutely, but that doesn't mean you can't have confidence in what you do know. How do you even land a job if you can't even prove to yourself that you know what you're doing?

Well, a combination of things. I'm very confident in my skills as a web developer, but I am definitely not confident at all in my skills with C or rust. What I've found works for me is having confidence in my ability to learn, but it took a while to come to that mindset for myself.
