   The most wonderful smart people I've found are those that presuppose everyone else is just as smart, if not smarter, than them and we've all just had access to different information.

     I can remember structural details of code I wrote 20 years ago but will forget your name within 30 seconds after the 6th repetition, so…yeah

     @slothrop I think we're all smart in some areas and utter doofuses in others.

     I can write code and draw stuff and write music but I can't keep track of where I put ANYTHING

     @nikki And then there’s people like me, who have learned the hard way that almost everyone really *is* smarter than them.

     At least in specific areas.

     Yes, this is approximately how I address people most of the time in normal conversation, since I can’t remember their names.
