I read this article and immediately thought: "Cue the variations of 'I know! It's so hard when I have to wait for other to catch up!' comments." I was not disappointed.
I'm reminded of the Oscar Levant quote:
What the world needs is more geniuses with humility, there are so few of us left.
Probably more annoying than the "smartest person in the room" is the person who thinks he is the smartest person in the room...
- georgemcbay 14y agoThe most annoying IMO is the guy in the room who really is smart, but is not (yet) wise. I've run into this with young-20-something programmers who really are exceptionally bright but lack the perspective of real world experience. These people can be insufferable when they are sure they are right and think everyone who is trying to temper their cocksureness is just being negative.
