Thank you for sharing those great posts! They were truly a pleasure to read.

I could not agree more that this is an unfortunate part of our culture. I used to always feel behind when someone would mention a new technology that I had never even heard of. Only now, after 6 years of doing this, am I starting to finally give myself permission to not know everything.

YES x 1000 for this quote! Elasticsearch is one piece of technology that I pride myself at knowing backwards and forwards. I learned almost everything that I know from 3 years on the job struggling to scale our cluster at Kenna. There were a lot of "OH SHIT, that was wrong!" moments, but in the end, I wouldn't change any of it bc it made the breakthroughs that much more rewarding.
