the problem for new devs is that there are so many unknown unknowns. we don't know what the core competencies are, so by that logic - prioritizing making the unknown unknowns KNOWN unknowns would make sense.
The new problem becomes - how to do that, and the only solution I've come to is to try to read more, a lot more, and try to read deeper, better things.
Would love to hear other peoples thoughts on the topic of making unknown unknowns known unknowns.
