This bit from the AMA with really resonates:
“Research work constantly forces you to confront your own inability to think and fallibility. You're always on the edge of what you can do, so you have this constant sense of inadequacy…”

I really appreciate he said that, even with all his years experience! It's a familiar feeling! I love the unknown - it's really exciting. I appreciate having the opportunity to constantly push myself to the brink of my own capability, but it does get exhausting at times! 😪😫

me: I think I get it (Dunning-Kruger anyone?) but I've never tried implementing any of it and have trouble explaining it to other ppl so delegating is hard
also featuring: writing a PL implementation (as it is sometimes called, a "compiler") is hard, I should write a PL for that
