[_proofs]

another +1 from me -- my job, with some exceptions, is literally "plop this guy into an unfamiliar project and implement some user need be it a bugfix, feature, or (silently) a refactor.

agnostic programming flueny/software practices, including being comfortable debugging unfamiliar things or navigating uncharted waters without many domain experts to guide me, is the number one skill required in my role.

bonus points if i end up becoming an active maintainer to the project, or someone who can help other devs w it, the more times i dip into it.
