I’ve expressed a similar thought with reference to impostor syndrome - velocity vs acceleration.
Early in your career you learn at a rapid pace. You are accelerating. You can feel acceleration.
But naturally as you continue, the amount of knowledge you have and can wield on a given day is substantial, yet for many it doesn’t change very quickly. You may be accelerating, but it’s slight relative to your velocity.
It would take a deceleration to appreciate the knowledge you have gained.
This is somewhat of an antagonist perspective to the OP, but I find it helpful, as the learning curves of a given individual describe a logarithmic function most usually, which I believe is the major underlying cause of impostor syndrome.
