I think the more you know, the more you realize just how much you dont know. So paradoxically, the deeper down the rabbit hole you go, the more you might tend to fixate on the growing collection of unlearned peripheral concepts that you become conscious of along the way. That can manifest itself as feelings of fraudulence when people are calling you a guru or expert while youre internally overwhelmed by the ever-expanding volumes of things youre learning that you dont know. However, I think its important to tamp those insecurities down and continue on with confidence enough to continue learning. After all, youve got the advantage of having this long list of things you know you dont know, whereas most people havent even taken the time to uncover that treasure map yet. Whats more, no one else has it all figured out either. Were all just fumbling around in the adjacent possible, grasping at whatever good ideas and understanding we can manage to wrap our heads around. hanselman/blog/ImAPhonyAreYou.aspx
