What is this, the Vitruvian Spider-Man?

"Perfect is the enemy of good enough" is one of my favourites.

don't minmax your skills, kids. if you do you'll end up like me

Same for 'a few rotten apples spoil a bunch'.

Yeah, that one is also infuriating to hear people misuse.
The entire point is not that its a small problem, its that its a big problem.
Along the same lines:
"Pull yourself up by your bootstraps."
This was originally written as an obviously impossible absurdity, a modern equivalent would be the 'plug the power strip into itself for infinite energy' memes.
Yet it is instead used to mean ... its time for you to do a lot of hard work, and then you'll be in a better place.

I'm in an engineering field, and I can tell you this absolutely holds true.
I've been very average in my own specialty of electrical engineering, but because I've taken the time to deep dive into mechanical engineering and controls/automation, I've far surpassed my peers career wise.

I focused too much on software development, now I find it tedious and boring, plus AI will replace me in like 3 years, womp womp.

No you jack off!

Look at it this way: after AI replaces you, a lot of companies are going to eventually realize AI can't cut it. Once that happens, you folks will be in high demand. You just.. have to find a way to survive in the interim.

I am mediocre at a lot of things. But the way I combine and use those skills are what make my skill set unique and what makes them great.
I love this. It pretty much perfectly describes how I got every job I've ever had as an adult.
