use Curiosity

The amount of things we don’t know vastly outweighs the small slice of knowledge we manage to accumulate as individuals. So it’s only natural to be ignorant of many things. But as professionals in a craft, we do carry a responsibility: to continually expand our understanding, especially in areas that intersect with our own.

We’re fortunate to live in a time when we can access reasonably accurate, fast, and affordable information — often with just a few keystrokes.

The first time you don’t know something, it’s fine — you’re not to blame. The second time, you have no excuse. The third time? You don’t deserve forgiveness.

Curiosity is a vital trait for developers. We’re not artisans repeating the same wicker basket day after day. Innovation is embedded in what we do, and staying informed — even just knowing that other domains exist beyond our garden wall — is critical.

Even if you’re a web developer, having a basic grasp of AI, blockchain, or cybersecurity can broaden your horizon and improve your everyday thinking.

Being lost is fine. Staying lost isn’t. So: use Curiosity
