a quick observation here: you are comparing ONE of YOU against THE COMBINATION of THE MOST BRILLIANT MINDS on the internet. Are you not capable of learning any of those topics in depth if you had the time and resources? No, I think you are certainly capable.

I have the same idea. It’s easy to join all these efforts spanning years together in your mind after reading some of the internet. You’re then overwhelmed how much is there to achieve to get better than this brilliant-average. The fact is, it is still many years of hard work of many independent or parallel roles. It’s not an instant average, it’s a sum over time. If you’re a wide pro, it would be hell of a job getting “up there”. If you’re a sharp pro, it would be very hard to widen. You don’t have to be below average to feel this pressure, we in tech are just like these girls scrolling instagram, in a sense.
