This is a very good point. I thought I knew a lot about programming/CS until I decided to get my M.S. Now, the more I learn, the more I realize I don't know.

It is actually a little defeating in the sense that I have had to accept that I will probably never know as much as I would like to.

Identifying gaps in your knowledge is half the battle.

Learning and getting better isn't limited to eliminating known unknowns, it includes becoming aware of unknown unknowns.

Once you can google a problem, there is a very high chance you'll be able to solve it.
