So I have this conversation at work sometimes...
Bob: "Greybeard, how do you know what is hard and what is easy?"
Tom: "Because if I find something difficult, then it's difficult."
Bob: "But how do you know?"
Tom: "Because one of the benefits of 40 years of writing code is I know for absolute certainly that I'm a great coder. So if I find something is difficult, then it's fucking difficult."
Bob: "So... you're saying I should be more arrogant?"
Tom: "About how stupid you are? Fuck yeah."
