The management answer is that you compare yourself against your peers using qualified metrics. You stop sucking when your numbers are high enough on your organization's bell curve. Most developers can't measure things, and most organizations won't train them, which limits them to forever sucking at what they do.
How do you know when you don’t suck?
I don't think you can. Success is circumstantial, failure is personal. Sucking is the only way to know your limits.
