This is very true.

I often feel bad when I see all the good engineers on Twitter and GitHub, but then I realize I don't want to work at a big corp and I don't want to do only one thing etc, so my goals alread determined that I need to do multiple things and I can't become excellent at only one.

That's me too! I love to discover new things to do, most of them are very simple to build, but you can tbuild amazing stuff with just the basics. I like to discover how to do something in a specific language/framework using google and other resources, the informations is all around us, we just need to curate that info and use what have a real value (i guess this last part is the hardest one). Happy coding everybody!

I think the same, sometimes I wish have the same level of knowledge but if I follow the 'multiple things way' is really hard and maybe impossible because I'm not a robot and I need sleep (maybe nobody isn't a robot or no?)... But is great read and practice a lot of things and sometimes so tired, the advantage in any moment is that one thing can you help or clarify another thing and EUREKA !
