I totally agree with these gems ... > It's all relative. Sometimes solutions require insights. Other times solutions involve a ton of grinding. > Many people have a tendency to overemphasize the first and greatly under emphasize the second, even though the grinding may actually be harder than devising clever solutions. > No individual problem is hard. It's arguably hard to do tedious work day in and day out for months at a time, but I don't think people would call that "technically hard".
