My take is that most people don't know what the hell they're doing most of the time. We're all trying to figure it out. When I was 20 I was copy-pasting the hell out of Rails examples. By being curious and actively incorporating ideas I've come across I've begun (15 years later) to have opinions on things in software development. Am I ever going to be a kernel contributor, or figure out implement compiler optimizations? Unlikely. But I love my job and the people around me support my continued education (in docker and everything else). That's all you can ask for.
I love xkcd, but you have to take it with a grain of salt. This comic was written by the same person who wrote this one: https://www.xkcd.com/1053/ https://www.xkcd.com/1053/
