Nice read man. I just started learning programming as well in early January of this year.
6 months ago, I never thought I would see myself working in a top HCII program as a research programmer. I'm sometimes in total disbelief of where I'm working at and also of the fact that I'm actually helping my professor.
"When I started this search I thought I would be scrubbing toilets in exchange for nightly code reviews."
That was definitely my train of thought on my value as well, but I guess I underestimated myself as well.
