Point D tremendously important.
You only tend to learn how to fix something, once you've broken something.
I see many techies quite often afraid to play or change stuff - even if it's
dev stuff. You have to have an inquiring mind, to ever get good at this
stuff - 'cos one thing is constant, at some point it'll all change, and all
your existing knowledge will be largely consigned to "experience".
