Yep, absolutely agreed. Fire hosing out infrastructure that you didn't take the time to learn and understand properly is a recipe for a disaster. I think humility is crucial, you need to understand what you know and what you don't know and be open to the unknown unknowns as well. Being a part of great complimentary teams will also help a ton. If you're junior, you probably shouldn't be designing massively complex infrastructure or dev projects. But if you work with a more senior person that lays out the plan for the infrastructure or project, then you do the work for that project while being shepherded by that senior engineer, it is an incredible learning experience.
