That is very interesting. "We", using software, get to understand that--that creating it has diverse facets. Whilst YOU are definitely good all-round, I'm doubtful most of the rest of us are or ever will be, or likely want to be. Personally I don't think having to get better in all the facets is in my interests; its not feasible, sensible or efficient. I'd say that an absolutely CORE issue with using computers is learning *how to address what you don't know*. Much like: *"I'm sure you basically understand film, but until I see a screenplay worth filming I won't know if you mastered it."* Its skill in a field. To use an AA quote, which I do think helps: *"I know a wo/man who can." *It is a basic attitude that is I think best.
