I disagree that this stops in a year or two. Always ask. Eventually you'll not be asking "Where does that variable come from?" because you've learned that already and your questions will be "WTF is kubernetes?". But there will still be plenty of things you're ignorant about. Might as well keep it "weaponized" as long as possible ;)

At some point you'll have enough knowledge to know how to answer your own questions, so while you're not asking as many external questions, you're still thinking about things like "Why?" when you work.

Absolutely - keep it up for as long as you can. My last point was meant to highlight how quickly time passes as a developer, but please don't take it as the end to questions. If anything, the more questions you have answered the more questions you'll have.
