I hate bullshit like this. Practice makes perfect. Put time into something, and you’ll get good at it. That’s that, don’t jerk yourself off and think you are stronger and others are weaker.

- Some people are at this ALL day, that’s why they are good and getting better.

- Some people take DRUGS to do this all day.

- Do not doubt the sheer hours it takes to get good.

- Some engineers get worse because they practice the wrong things (whatever it is, could be a bad coding practice, it could be bike shedding, etc)

- Practice is a vector, it has magnitude and direction. Stop marveling at the final product of practice and marvel at practice itself. It’s powerful in either direction, it can lift you or keep you stuck in a Sisyphean loop.
