Couldn't agree more with this. It's something I repeat at work almost once every week. Look I'm average, most of us at work will be average. The question is how to we design our processes to take that into account? instead of constantly pointing fingers for mistakes that happened.

It'd be kind of cool if you tried to improve your skill level, too. That is something you can do.

Of course I can and I do but the wider group will still always have a Gaussian distribution of skills more or less always. (as pointed out by parent comment)

Not usually......skill tends to have an exponential distribution, not a Gaussian distribution. Not everything falls into a Gaussian distribution.
