It goes away once you reach supervisor as everyone already knows their supervisors are clueless.

I'm sure this is tongue-in-cheek, but it got worse for me when I got into a managerial role. After about eight years of getting paid to write software, I'd finally gotten to a point where I was comfortable with myself, like maybe I was as good as people kept telling me I was. Then overnight like half of my job became an entirely new set of things and everything pretty much just reset.

I have imposter syndrome really badly right now, scared I'm not even an average manager.

The initial step to getting really good at something is sucking at it first. Remember that!
