How to become a better specialist?

Work with those who are smarter and more professional than you. This is a modified quote from some chess book and it applicable to literally any profession.

Applying this statement to my profession (I'm a .NET developer if anyone could have forgotten that ;)), you can become better much faster if you work with someone more qualified than you. I've been working with two nice developers for almost six months and now I can see my level is growing way too faster than if I would increase my skills myself. I'm actually approaching their level, day after day.

That's why in one of my dreams I imagine myself working together with such persons like Martin Fowler or Scott Guthrie. That could be a real experience boost!
