some say "wisdom comes with age".

Though I don't completely agree but won't completely ignore.

I see this applies to tech as well.

When you start as junior you tinker with boilerplate code. everything seems magical. As you grow learn and becomes wiser, things what seemed magical before become logical

After 10 years, surface level saturates. You will start to dig deeper. Things will again start to become magical and then slowly fades into logical.

Then you go deeper and again process repeats.

More deeper you go, you will find the luxury to shake the surface level toys. Some innovation happens at surface level, but you are deep down still going.

There is not end line. You retire when you want to stop. Your choice!

But much more still to be explored! Humanity continues!

In short, As you grow, go deeper, become wiser, shake the status quo, innovate, repeat. Surface level people will Go gaga. But you don't react because you are still going deeper...
