I don't think there is mastery in this work. I've been doing this for decades, and I still think my code from 6 months ago is crap, no matter how much I learn and improve.
Mastery would imply that you can do it all, and do it right, on any project, and there is just too much change and evolution for that to ever be true.

My goal is simply that I continue to improve.
