Beginners ask the wild questions experts stopped asking. Being new is a superpower for a while.

Beginners ask the questions experts have quietly agreed to stop asking. Not because those questions got answered, but because asking marks you as new, so a whole field learns to step around a few obvious things. For a short window you do not know which ones those are, and that ignorance is worth something.

Ask the naive question now, before you learn to be embarrassed by it. Write down everything that confuses you in your first weeks at anything. A year from now you will not be able to see it anymore.
