>"Those who can’t do… teach"
I worked two decades in industry. Worked at megacorps, in games, at startups, and co-founded a successful company. I was pretty good at what I did. Not the best, but pretty good.
And then I got humbled by trying to teach.
It's a completely different skill. It's the hardest, most rewarding job I've ever had.
So when I hear this line, I think, "Try it. Try to be a good teacher and see how well you do." Because I thought I'd be a good teacher, too... until I tried it. 7 years in and I'm still working my ass off trying to improve, and I now have enough skill to know that I have a long way to go.
