Programming isn't about what you know; it's about what you can figure out.

Every great developer you know got there by solving problems they were unqualified to solve until they actually did it.

@LoganDice I find this thought hugely comforting
@LoganDice this is actually why I love programming
@LoganDice I've been coding in one form or another on and off for over 20 years, and when I unravel a tricky problem and create a new piece of code that does what I will it to do, I still feel like Tom Hanks declaring "I have made fire!" in Castaway. Every. Single. Time.
@LoganDice Somewhere I remember hearing that it's better to be good at doing things you're not good at than really anything else. That advice stuck with me.

@LoganDice I would go further -- Life isn't about what you know; it's about what you can figure out.

Every great person you know got there by solving problems they were unqualified to solve until they actually did it.
