RECONSIDER YOUR PATH TO SUCCESS AS A SOFTWARE ENGINEER

I've observed a prevailing trend in the software engineering community: a fixation on creating products and acquiring minimal knowledge to meet requirements. However, it's crucial to realize that product development is not the ultimate goal.

Seasoned engineers dedicate significant time to maintaining, scaling, rewriting, and refactoring software. This is where the true magic unfolds. Achieving this level of expertise demands mastering technologies meticulously. It's not merely about completing tasks; it's about comprehensively grasping the tools at your disposal.

By delving deep and honing your skills, you enhance your problem-solving abilities and unlock innovative potential beyond imagination. Early on, concentrating solely on product creation can be deceptive. Embrace the path to mastery. That's where genuine breakthroughs take place.
