Not everyone can be the best
- proc0 3y agoI feel it's also because programming has this quality to it, which is similar to some other creative arts, where it is deceptively hard. On the surface it's just knowing some rules and then writing some code, but as you gain more experience new paradigms expand and reveal the infinite potential of information processing. It's like knowing how to use Photoshop and thinking you can be a designer, but then after trying it out, realize there are so many subtle layers that build up to the final product, and each layer is its own universe to be explored.
