This is the Hacker Mindset: If you realize something is lacking, invest some time to learn the basics about it. More often than not, the basics will be enough to improve you workflow dramatically.

And besides, it will grant you the insight necessary to make informed decisions about how to specialize.

Pity those who never investigate and always bow before 'I can't do it', without even having tried. Without a desire to know, nothing can be achieved.

well, looking at the cost of going out to eat every night, vs. buying the ingredients at your local grocery store, it makes sense to learn to cook - cheaper food, you know what's in it, etc.
