That's tough. I can't say I'm a 10x dev or a superstar either.
From the post it sounds like you might not be motivated. Like perhaps this isn't your passion? Do you just find learning how to be better boring or hard or do you (if you honestly asked yourself) feel like dev work (or perhaps it's just this dev work) is boring?
What interests you?
Is there a niche that you're really good at? Where things come easy? Perhaps specializing there might be good?
Have you thought about blogging? Perhaps blogging your journey into getting better (if that's what you choose to do) might help and could help others and also build your own brand and at the same time keep you honest i.e if people are expecting new blog posts it will give you a reason to keep at it.
