There are a lot of software developers out there better than me, faster than me, more knowledgable than me. I'll never be in the top 10% of software devs. Sometimes when I look at the posts here, and follow software dev sites and blogs, and about things going on in e.g. the Linux kernel, or compiler development, I wonder if I'll ever be in the top 90% of software devs.⁰ Then I realise it doesn't matter that there are thousands of devs out there better than me. They might be able to do any project I might want to get involved in better than I can - but they can't do all the projects that interest me. No matter how good the top 1% of software devs are, they can't do all the software dev work that desperately needs doing, let alone all the software dev work that is merely "important". There's just too much that could be done. So I can get on with my own projects in peace. It doesn't matter that other people could do my projects better than me, because they're busy on their own projects instead. I can still work on my stuff, and that's fine. ⁰ I always forget about the existence of thousands of devs who struggle with fizzbuzz, because my brain is mean to me.
