I wish I was like...
Minimally competent at my job?
Fact of the matter is, I can tell computers to do things, but I don't have enough background outside of that to tell them how to do USEFUL things (like most math) and I can't organise/structure projects for shit.
Having spent most of my time maintaining grad student code written in C, that runs as command line tools and services has left me with:
- basically no ability outside my niche field
- don't know how to organise a large project sensibly
- woefully lacking in other languages
