This is a somewhat common theme, but I can't think of a discussion which advised how to objectively evaluate skills in contrast to other button pushers.<p>Last night my wife showed me a bunch of job listings for Google. I scoffed at the prospect, because <i>those</i> people are actually incredibly smart. She scoffed at my not thinking that I am one of <i>those</i> people.<p>So how does one determine where they lie in the spectrum?
