If I was at any moment perfectly aware of every minute detail of every programming related topic, and could also apply it perfectly, I honestly think I'd get incredibly stressed and depressed. Stressed from all the billions of projects that I could improve, and would kinda feel the obligation to improve. And depressed because the whole reason I like programming is the learning part. Almost every project I start will end at the point where I learnt the most significant new stuff and it comes down to doing things that I know how to do. It'd ruin my primary hobby (and job) for me, which probably wouldn't result in me being very happy.
Don't wish for knowledge, wish for wisdom. Of course then you will just realize that you should have just wished to be lucky.
