After 3 or 5 years you don't really know what you don't know. A lot of people think they are experts after 5. After 10 you will see all the mistakes you have made and have a rough idea of just how little you know.

- tedmiston 10y agoThe way I look at it these days is: I can manage to do anything related to an API or app. The polish that comes after the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 10th years is just doing things more elegantly and with better tooling. For me, it's mostly been about stronger separation of concerns. That's my perspective at 3 years into startup software engineering.
