Too Long; Didn't Read
A senior engineer that I deeply respect as a technician (and human!) recently said to me, “I think the hardest part of growing in an <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/engineering" target="_blank">engineering</a> career is the feeling that for every concept you learn or become an expert in, you discover twice as many that you know nothing about. That fear — that someone is going to find out about all of your ‘black holes’ of knowledge — is really hard to live with and reason about. It’s difficult to feel good at your job when you’re acutely aware of <em>just</em> how many things you don’t know or understand.”
