Incompetent individuals fail to recognize genuine skill in others.

what I think others know

what I know

My repertoire of keyboard shortcuts was relatively pathetic.

I was not fount of esoteric details of various programming languages.

I could not expound on the pros and cons of two competing technologies with religious fervor.

I did not try to implement algorithms in academic papers for fun.

I did not skip meals to code.

And surely the nail in the coffin was that I had not watched a single episode of Star Trek.
