> So, although I agree that "the universe" in general is much more complex, I haven't found that to be true about the part individual developers are expected to understand. That's probably true. I think the person I was responding to felt like they would want to understand more than they're necessarily expected by others to, though. I kind of share that sentiment, and they also mentioned impostor syndrome, so I wanted to express my feeling that if you want to understand "the universe" (and not just what's necessary in order to fulfill the what's expected of you), that's probably more complex nowadays than it maybe was back when the field was even younger. You have a longer perspective on that development than I do, though (I started in the early 2000's or so), so thanks for sharing.
