@Exuma, this comment is ridiculously resonant with me, the part about 'learning transaction isolation for the 50th time' is very on point too. Everything you said I pretty much fee…

I like how you've expressed this insight, and it is so true. Becoming great at a particular technology stack means modelling it in great detail in your head, so you can move throug…
