The problem is you never know when you’ll go from “dev who doesn’t care” to “dev who does”.

This is true for literally every hard problem in dev though, and the implication that you need to grasp everything just in case you need it is silly. The problem space in compsci is too big to know everything. We have to choose.

Part of the reason this kind of blogs exist is to give you more information to choose properly.
