I've come to the conclusion that maybe us computer people are not truly smart. And we just like the comfort of thinking that we are.
Yes, we're good at logical thinking, implementing systems, reasoning about problems etc
This just makes us useful in the end or good at a certain way of thinking.
"Men of science may be simple tools of others, with no more idea what they are about than a hammer has of a house"
I believe this is true of software developers too - if we were truly smart we wouldn't be on the hamster wheel in a cage belonging to someone else
