Good observation. I love helping teach others what I know, and I like learning from others.
Where I draw the line, and give up trying to share what I know, is when the person doesn’t want to learn or has an attitude similar to “OK, Boomer.”
When I was young in the software development industry, I learned from older coworkers. Some of them were old, grumpy, WWII farts, but I learned to look beyond that, show respect, listen, learn, and build on that. I excelled in my work then and now because of that. They are dead now, but what they taught me lives on in my work, adapted for today’s newer technologies.

I don't think anyone has said it yet, so as a long-time CP member I will: You're welcome.
Chris and company deserve an immense amount of credit for providing resources for folks in the trenches. This is especially true for those of us in Microsoft houses, given the steady decline in the quantity and quality of MS support in the face of their yeast-colony growth in complexity.
Culturally Code Project has always maintained a welcoming stance, and has occasionally made significant changes to ensure that remained the case.
I've been here for over 20 years, and I've enjoyed it. It might be a little late, but welcome in.

I joined here 9 years ago Total novice trying to use Java to make my printer print text.
I did not know how to format my code when I posted the question.
I had some unfriendly interactions on Stack Overflow so when
Richard MacCutchan guided me first on how to post my code. Direct but Polite it was enjoyable
Slow Forward a number of years and reading post in the Lounge and making a realization
this forum has a lot of very talented people not only in programming computers but
knowledge about their hobbies and thoughts on other aspects of life
With no close friends that write code I am grateful for this place because of
ALL who contribute their View and answers to questions
YES Thank You to ALL of You

IMHO, coders need not be experts. Its sufficient if coders are able to achieve the customer's requirements (error handling included) with the coding knowledge they have, and the attitude of learnability.

Plus the ability to evolve a solution, potentially having one coder pick up where another left off.
This brings to mind the great quote:
Joni Mitchell said: That's one thing that's always, like, been a difference between, like, the performing arts, and being a painter, you know. A painter does a painting, and he paints it, and that's it, you know. He has the joy of creating it, it hangs on a wall, and somebody buys it, and maybe somebody buys it again, or maybe nobody buys it and it sits up in a loft somewhere until he dies. But he never, you know, nobody ever, nobody ever said to Van Gogh, 'Paint a Starry Night again, man!' You know? He painted it and that was it.
Unlike a painter, a developer can (though may not) keep tweaking a program -- v1, v2, etc. Yet unlike, the musician, we don't have to start fresh each time we want to make improvements. And still unlike the composer, we can feel confident that the computer will perform our magnum opus exactly as we have instructed.

I've been asked to code the same thing again. And again. And again.
I don't think it makes me Joni Mitchell.

The coders among us are not performing artists; they are craftsmen/women.
A master tailor may produce coats for his entire life, each differing in style, size, etc. A musician may play the same repertoire, trying to achieve perfection in playing the pieces. A composer may try writing music in differing styles. I would claim that our craft is closer to the master tailor than to the musician or composer.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

To be clear, I don't disagree. In fact that was basically my point.

I have developed the same kind of thing more than once at times. A "set of classes/methods for working with ADO.net" for example is something I've done several times and will likely do again. But each time is different, with a new set of requirements, each building on the experience of the previous and improving.

And yet, she also said, "you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone" -- which (in my opinion) applies to your work with tiny embedded components.

Standard normal distribution. For any group of people, with enough numbers, there will be those that are substantially above the norm and those that are below it.
I believe there are several studies that attempted to measure this related to producing code. One would need to carefully look at each study to determine how they measured the results. Finding them are not easy since there are attempts to monetize the measurement along with a vast number of opinions as to how to create that (which one would could compare to similar attempts to make better teachers.)

re/ 1st yes along w/ the study of advanced Physics etc. it is greatly pleasurable when the billiard balls fly as intended . as for piano i do not know but assume likewise great pleasure upon an expertly played Chopin Sonata .
re/ 2nd yes as i do not wish to wear dresses .
