I'm in theory a senior engineer by title, but constantly reminded that holy fuck some other people I work with are so damn much smarter than me on this topic we're discussing right now and I feel like I just entered IT with zero experience.

But somehow those people listen to what I say and keep working with me so I guess I'm doing something right.

On that note, it's so fucking cool to work with actually smart people - it's like every time you're left in awe and hope you'd some day have a small percentage of their brain to use.

Yeah, that can be tough.

I have simply come to terms by now that I sometimes am the rubber ducky depending on the colleague ¯\(ツ)/¯.
