>What is 'tiny' for someone with 5 years experience is 'huge' for someone new.

While true, this is exactly the boring conventional wisdom that I tried to steer attention away from with my above comment.

While it’s a blatantly obvious duh-level truism that people can take on larger challenges as they learn, I mean come on… it’s helpful to realize that there remain tiny things — tiny by almost anyone’s definition — even later in a career. I’m not just starting out and just last week I learned yet another way to add in bash, for instance.
