This is what I’m hoping for. At least, I’ve noticed on the admin side that lower level tools and system calls seem to be more stable and better documented than the abstractions built overtop of them.

I think market pressures make this a difficult fit in the workplace. High turnover (~2yrs) and larger systems encourage shorter term results with a shallower understanding.

This isn’t a criticism (I have so so much to learn still, I’m in no position to judge, nor do I want to be), but more of an observation. Balancing learning churn(frameworks/languages) vs fundamentals(theory, concepts) is a struggle I think I will have for the rest of my life.
