> and it's always disheartening for people to claim that choosing not to focus on specific technologies makes you a worse human being. Hey, I'm the guy who wrote that original response to you. I apologize if that's how you interpreted my comment, but that's not what I meant by it. I wasn't even trying to say that you're a bad engineer (and certainly not a bad human being), I just wanted to say that I disagree with the attitude of that comment. I'm sure if I said it to you in person, you would have picked up on the non-hostile intent and narrow scope of my criticism, but the internet tends to twist things in very negative ways. Nobody can know everything, and not knowing something doesn't make someone a bad engineer. Software development in particular is more about learning than about knowing, which is why when I see someone saying that they don't need to learn something because <X>, it bothers me. In your comment, you said that you don't want to be a release engineer, but IMO that's a poor excuse since "release engineer" isn't even a role that exists at many places. And for the record, I didn't even look at the project you linked to. So if you also thought I was criticizing it, then rest assured that I'm much too lazy for that. When I was still learning, online tutorials and resources like yours were extremely valuable to me, so I know how helpful they can be to people even if they're not "perfect" by some snobby asshole's definition...so keep at it!
