Yes, so what? When I was a Junior Developer and knew almost nothing, even back then I could determine that some code is bad because it was unstructured, with bad naming, poor algorithms, etc., because the code was bad objectively, given metrics that do not depend on someone's particular opinion or mentality. I would call the very same code bad today, with all the experience and knowledge.
- kingkawn 14y agoYou still haven't shed the blind belief in your genius.
- dakimov 14y agoI don't think I'm a genius, I just think there's a lot of talentless and stupid folks everywhere. And I adore smart talented people, they are such a relief for me, but unfortunately there are not so many of them. No, actually, I think I am a genius. Is it bad?
- bigo-tree 14y agoa little humility doesn't hurt. You're coming off as pompous
- chris_wot 14y agoNot bad, just potentially deluded.
- kingkawn 14y agoGenius has no meaning as a description divorced from the work.
- dakimov 14y agoA distinctive work is just a consequence of intellectual superiority. My problem is that I am very lazy. The actual work someone can make is F * S, where the F is your intellectual power, and the S is how much you have moved towards your target. If the S is close to zero, being a genius does not help. Actually, being a lazy genius does help being at some decent level even without putting too much effort, e.g. when you have the same or better level of expertise as your average colleague, even though you have invested an order of magnitude less time in studying than them, and don't even have a college degree becaming a boss of those who do.
