The Psychology of Incompetence - Ron Burk

92 percent of people are incompetent

A better way to term some of these people are as educated idiots. They went through the education but don't know their butts from their elbows.

Couldn't help but think of Dilbert when watching this lol

Oh wow, that last sentence really boosted my mood! I'm always afraid I'm in the retard department of my company and that I'm going to meet some coders with skills leagues above my own, proving my relative incompetence. So I suppose my worry is my motivation and inoculation. But that just causes more stress... which is brain damage... which makes me less... competent.

Mommy.

Surprisingly, programming talent tends to cluster by company, rather than have a bell curve distribution within a company. So, you're probably really not in the "retard department" of your company. However, you might (or might not!) be in a company that has low competence compared to others, leading you to think you're doing just fine until you interview elsewhere one day.

lol... it was just a setup for a joke. But okay.

most of you think you guys are the smartest peopel , unfortunately all men are created equal so you may be smart with computers and lack complete intuition . this guys is stating nothing other that is already well known and steryotyped in this society , are you all fascinated by a balding man trying his best to exploit the faults in the hirings that companies make , i think the only reason they work is to to buy viagra so they can jerk off to porn of girl with big tits

Good point. No matter how good your code is, it's crap to the next guy if you don't use proper variable names, and COMMENT.

It's more to recognize that one mind cannot possibly know a world full of coding tricks and secerts, and hence, your code could always be better, but hey, that's good too.

This explains why most high authority figures are idiots?
