Ask HN: What are some quotes that stuck with you and change the way you think?

"Even if you don’t have any aspirations to build a public following, there is tremendous career value in becoming the go-to person within your technical niche. The person who everybody on your team comes to with their toughest question about that language or framework. The person who knows where all the bodies are buried in ActiveDirectory or Typescript or DynamoDB. Those folks have great careers and job security because authoritative knowledge like that is rare. To some extent, it’s rare because wisdom only comes with experience. But I know plenty of engineers who’ve sat in the same chair for ten years getting the same year of experience ten times. Heck, I’ve been there myself; I spent a couple of years as an “accidental DBA” who never really learned that much about SQL Server beyond what the daily firefighting required."

This is something that stuck with me, prompting me to look at things I come across out of necessity at least a tad deeper than necessary.
