Imagine the smartest developers you know, operating at the boundaries of their knowledge - for years, decades. Without access to new tools and sources of knowledge, they eventually plateau - maybe move into management. Pick up a hobby or two. Then one day, they are gifted with a new tool - to allow them to push themselves further, to ask the questions no single person has all the answers to. To seek solutions to the problems they've been exposed to their entire lives.

They’ve seen enough verbose, redundant, and awful code in their time - all written by other humans - to know the difference between elegant, functional, and trash. They remain unfazed and they proceed unleashed.
