  • It’s probably pretty similar to sports. Some people are naturals, but almost anyone can learn to be really good at them, it just takes a shitload of work.

    Being a natural at something is being good at pattern recognition, whether it is music, sports, cooking, writing, or pretty much anything prople can be good at. While the vast majority of people can get good at things through practice, there are people on the opposite end from the people where it comes naturally that won’t be able to do better than a beginnger even with a lot of practice.

    There are the equivalents of being tone deaf for pretty much everything humans do.






  • This isn’t inherently bad.

    Some web pages are extraneous, fedundant, or only relevant for a limited period of time. A sign up page for a concert doesn’t need to exist permanently. Consolidating a large website down to fewer pages that are accessible for everyone is a good thing.

    Archiving services that retain web pages that deserve saving are how we should retain that history of the web, but the actual creators don’t necessarily need to indefinitely maintain a web page that becomes obsolete.

    Yes, a lot is lost that could have just continued to exist and archiving is good, but getting rid of clutter is not a bad thing.




  • Imposter syndrome is rooted in being qualified, but not being confident that one is qualified. Qualified includes being able to learn as experience is gained.

    So the opposite requires some level of confidence, so it depends on whether being qualified matters.

    If the person is qualified and confident, then confidence.

    If they think they are qualified but aren’t, then overconfidence. I consider this to be the opposite of imposter syndrome.
