Just Build the Product
Rather facile advice.<p>As a software engineer, it&#x27;s your responsibility to build the product according to the requirements. Sometimes that means it needs to be built it quick because it&#x27;s likely to have a short life, or it needs to land quickly to market. Sometimes, you need to get things right, otherwise you end with an insurmountable amount of technical debt and a business that grinds to a halt.<p>Given this, you should make the analysis to understand the tools that you need. If that means learning, then so be it. Maybe you can keep going with superficial knowledge. Or, perhaps you need to find an expert, that&#x27;s fine too.<p>As for growing in your technical knowledge, that should be agreed upon with your employer or whoever is paying for the work. If you find that you work somewhere that doesn&#x27;t allow you to learn then perhaps it&#x27;s not the right place to be.<p>Think like a professional.
