You can be younger than me, with fewer years at the company and less experience, but if you’re able to write a shorter, faster program, you don’t need me to tell you that it’s good. A program that does the same thing, except shorter and faster… There’s something great about that. How could I not tip my hat to you and learn from your example? If someone can do something that I can’t, regardless of whether I like or dislike their personality, I’ll still admire their ability. And if that makes me impartial, I suppose I am.
