some of it is kind of inevitable when you see how far ahead from everyone else they are technically and when people shitting on their work just aren’t at their (technical) level it seems to be very draining. and eventually lead to dramas.

i’m always baffled why so often people who are so far ahead of the rest of us still end up with a chip on their shoulder. i get that being surrounded and harassed by people who aren’t at their level must take it’s toll. but it’s curious why it’s not enough for them to be content knowing that most of their detractors simply aren’t up to their level?
