This is what bugs me every time I see LTT Linus talking about Linux. He spent decades learning Windows. He immersed himself in it. Now he’s older and doesn’t realize the small amount of researching and “RTFM” for Linux is nothing compared to the energy he spent learning Windows stuff.
On the positive side - seeing stuff like this in others has helped me realize when I start exhibiting the same negative thoughts and behaviors.
“I already know X. I’m brilliant, so if I don’t currently know Y, it’s not worth knowing. I will ignore the 30 years it took me to get to where I am knowing X.”
Which fallacies cover this? I suppose we can start with Dunning-Kruger?
