Oct 14, 2023 at 2:03 comment added Node.JS This is my own personal experience but during the 3rd year of PhD I finally started to understand what is going on with my thesis and how much I don't know to be able to solve the problem. This is normal.

Oct 13, 2023 at 13:11 comment added JackRed Added to the other answer that were posted, I believe reading this question and associated answers may help you: How to effectively deal with Imposter Syndrome and feelings of inadequacy: "I've somehow convinced everyone that I'm actually good at this" . It seems like you are deprecating your own work and achievements and you may benefit for re-assessing them

Oct 12, 2023 at 14:40 comment added EarlGrey If you were productive in a new area and in a new group, I am quite sure that whatever you would produce was "learning material" (i.e. useless, but necessary, crap). "The third year [...], he won't get to see a big milestone of his project since he'll likely leave before we reach it." When someone achieves something, they always think that progressing the work along the same lines will be easy. So you are trying to live up with impossible expectations (plus, 3rd year PhD will receive due citations when your work is ready, they smartly need it better in the future rather than right now)
