mmm.. after all, I'm not alone in this. I have the exact same problem. To make it worse, I get angry, when I cannot able to explain it properly, even though I would have done it correctly. I stopped fighting it. I'm going with the flow... ;-) Whoever gives me job, I take. If they think I don't deserve it because I couldn't explain, then I let it be like that. Do I sound so down....

My current workplace, I saw 2 functions, exactly the same except the name, written by a senior developer, who suppose to overlook the juniors! Mistake? Well, those two functions are one after the other, both fit right into one screen [that small the functions are].
