99% of IT problems in the world doesn't require brilliance in any way, just consistency and effort put in.

Anytime some good junior tries to put the brilliance into place it doesn't require it, its a sad story about literal technical debt down the line.

But good luck explaining this to most smart folks who are running around with big hammer trying as much new stuff as possible.

reminds me of the saying that every year, the intelligence threshold needed to end the world drops a bit more - cannot for the life of me find it again...
