I'm probably still a mediocre programmer, but I've never hit any limitations, or read any books or courses, the only improvements I've noticed in myself have come from discussion with colleagues and deep thought about my values, and, least and most importantly, from programming a lot, and always seeking out ways to avoid becoming a plumber. I don't want to write code which is just data in hiding, I want to make machines which creates behavior out of data, and let someone else deal with providing the data whenever I can.
