I think there's a lesson to be learned from this wisdom, but putting yourself out there, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes is invaluable.
I would rather reveal my ignorance or say the occasional dumb thing than remain bogged down by my own ignorance or stupidity because I adhere to some proverbs about silence that I read on the internet. Making those mistakes is how I grow.
I'm a former NASA flight software engineer who was just awarded a Robert H. Goddard Award for Exceptional Achievement in Engineering. I worked on a variety of projects in my 7.5 years at NASA. On the spaceflight side, I updated some of the Curiosity rover's telemetry processing software for the ExoMars rover, and wrote embedded C that will run onboard the PACE satellite. For an internal data delivery web application, I added D3/Horizon Charts visualization to our Angular frontend, and wrote backend code that would extract mass spectrometry data into our web app's database.
