I saw an impressive YouTube video of a tech demo, so now I'm a visionary genius.

Some days I feel surrounded by this.

And the part that needles at me, deep at the back of my mind:

These folks have seen what I can do after decades of daily investment in learning.

And I suspect that what they think is, "this person must have seen one hell of an inspirational talk on YouTube, to be able to do all that."

I work to make the next generation not have to invest as long or hard as I did. But it still ain't magic, yet.
