Ex-Amazon and Google Senior software engineer advised junior ones, and I think you should take it seriously.
"As a Software Engineer, you don’t need to know everything.
I did not know any Linux commands when I started my first job as a programmer.
When I joined Amazon, I did not fully understand Git.
At Amazon, my first project was in Python but I had never written a single line of code in Python.
When I joined Google, I could not program in C++ but most of my work was in C++.
Later when I changed team, I built a feature in Dart but I had never used Dart before.
As a Software Engineer, you don’t need to know everything. You just need to know where to find it when you need it."
