The longer I am here, the more I realize that my main dev talent is recognizing data structures and workflows that will work in a fundamentally superior way to whatever is Today's Hot Thang, despite the fact that hardly anyone agrees with me and everyone is telling me I am a stupid loser who can't admit that I am just stupid and a loser and your shit don't even work LOL, and just hacking away at implementations for years until everyone else can see what I saw at the beginning.

I sometimes feel a bit like Noah building his boat.

A very very small boat.
But a boat.
In the desert.
Give me two years.
The rain. It is coming.

But I sometimes wonder, is it that I can see the solution, or is it that I have some deep, inner confidence that I can always find a way through, if I keep hacking away for long enough and find enough frens to help? If we all just hack away, together, for long enough...

I've never not gotten through.

I wonder.
