I consider myself an excellent SQL coder. At least I used to be.
But I owe all but the basics to a person I've never met. A true master.
I inherited his code when he left the job. His code taught me things I never would have seen in or out of a classroom. I'm certain he was younger than me, based on the descriptions others gave of him.
I thank my lucky stars I got that lesson.
I'm not sure we can assess our own top level without seeing something and wishing we had written it.
Or perhaps even then.
Then there's the DunningβKruger effect. And the sciolists of the world. Who among us hasn't seen those?
Yet I think the person experiencing it doesn't know it.
When I was a kid, someone stuck me in a choir. After a bit of time the choir director told me not to sing the words but to just move my lips. A monotone.
Yet now I sing well, according to others. Probably I just had to grow into my voice. But I never pursued music after that.
The last is just food for thought.
Good subject for rumination.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming βWow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

Saw some recent article about this, and I couldn't help but think, just about everything I've ever read about the event mentions it was followed by a global tsunami with waves going around the entire globe. Given the amount of energy involved, is anyone surprised?
So they found some new arcane detail about it that only geologists can get excited about...? Something about the arrangement of sediments around New Zealand?

In my experience, idiots take many shapes.
