There’s something incredibly empowering about having an expanded vocabulary. You can just skim to get a sense of the breadth of available tools. The main point is to be aware and fill in those spaces where you didn’t know you didn‘t know these things existed.

Not only do you get a higher fidelity map, you feel more oriented, your perspective has more nuance, and if you encounter a challenge you have a lot of little mental anchors you can make use of (even if it’s just a vague recognition & involves googling)

This is compared to what I often get sucked into doing, which is thinking of the area as one object and mastering that as deeply as I can, instead of breaking it into a lot of different pieces and taking in the breadth of options before me
