I'm getting better at feeling energized by this view rather than sad and overwhelmed. Something about embracing my inner dummy and keeping the beginner's mind attitude at the forefront.

Every day I interact with coworkers who know way more about computer stuffs than me and coworkers who I know way more about computer stuffs than them. We are all on this exciting bottomless journey of knowledge and mastery together and it's awesome.

Each level of abstraction unveiled is itself interesting, even if it's still hundreds of layers above the ground floor. Reminds me of the Feynman quote “Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough”.

I feel lucky to have found a career in which I enjoy the minutia as well as the bigger picture, and it also happens to be able to create incredible real world value when applied to the right problems in the right ways.

Sometimes it's tiring. I have stumbled upon a bizarre problem where a Windows NTFS partition isn't accessible anymore because of an "access denied". Only NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM has access to it, and I did not manage to change the partition's ACL. True, digging deeper into Windows's ACL and filesystem should be interesting, but I find it a burden when things should work not just for yourself.

Yeah, some type of practical knowledge is interesting in it's own right, and some other type of knowledge could be only described as "Not all scars are on the outside".
