Definitely! Thanks for expanding the solution. I grow up in a school system that you can be absolutely A+ on all subjects (and those subjects does not change). I almost took it for granted that, what I learned before is all that I needed.

With this mindset into my 1st job as a software engineer, I came to realize what’s missing among the co-workers (mechanical and electrical engineers, since things stay relatively stable for them). I had to run away from that environment and dive into somewhere people practice the ‘habits’ you mentioned.

I didn’t waste too much time (about a year or so, fresh out of collage), but I wish someone would have commented early on. Thanks!
