How do I cover the breath of things in CS?
I am 3 years experienced backend developer. I work in Java and generally get shit done at the office.
But I feel inferior to my peers when they are talking about stuff and feel that I have knowledge debt to clear off.
How do you handle such situations?
I note down the things, words , concepts I don't understand at that time and try to read about them. But sooner than later, they pile up and I lose motivation or drive to work towards it.
