I think brilliance is overrated, so I would not worry about whether you
have it or not. I know brilliant people who have achieved little or
nothing. Besides, you can't choose to be brilliant.

You can choose, and apparently have chosen, to ask questions, read and
try to understand the answers, and apply the answers in your own
programming. That will take you a long way. The very fact that you do
care about style and organization will help you program well.
