I think you&#x27;re wildly underestimating how much &quot;core knowledge&quot; there is in the entire field of computing. You can be a absolute master of several disciplines and still need help when stepping outside that area.<p>In my experience, this sort of attitude leads to things like people saying &quot;What the hell? Your resume said you knew Linux!&quot; when you fail to know every single quirk of the specific unpopular distro that they&#x27;re using. Don&#x27;t be that guy.
