Just recounting an interesting story: At school, people (classmates) usually said I was the best programmer, or at least the smartest in terms of lesson pick-up and application when it comes to programming.
This sem, I got utterly defeated in terms of programming skills by some guy who was utterly mediocre in the first two years, until he started studying insanely hard. He's like a Rock Lee genius of hard work sort of person Now people look at him as the smartest(?)/nerdiest guy in the batch, and I really don't care because it diverts attention away from me. The difference in his quality of work has really been amazing though.
