This was a very good article to read. Very thoughtful. It does somewhat hit a nerve for me too. Ever since I started digging deeper into the complexity of computing I've felt a bit dumber every time I learned something new. It's just staggering how complex those things are. It somehow makes me, my knowledge, feel insignificant. I know my way around software design. I can definitely write some good code. I know some of the theoretical aspects of computer science. In theory, I should have a grasp of all this and I probably do. Somehow though, I feel as if there was just so much more to know that declaring myself as "good" at this feels wrong. I've come to terms, that the Dunning-Kruger effect is a powerful force. The more I learn, the more I realize how much there's left to learn.
