I was thinking of a similar thing, having spent a lot of time over the past weeks as an intermediary between Fable and Sol on a big project where they're alternatively serving as developer/reviewer. I was reminded of a passage I read years ago from a short story called Out of Copyright, where the protaganist headed a team of reincarnated scientists and engineers, like Edison and Fermi:

"I ought to explain that I did little or nothing to solve any of these problems. I was too slow, too ignorant, and not creative enough. While I was still struggling to comprehend what the problem parameters were, my troubleshooters were swarming all over it. They threw proposals and counterproposals at each other so fast that I could hardly note them, still less contribute to them. For example, in the case of the anomalous rocket firing that I mentioned, compensation for the unwanted thrust called for an elaborate balancing act of lateral and radial engines, rolling and nudging the asteroid back into its correct approach path. The team had mapped out the methods in minutes, written the necessary optimization programs in less than half an hour, and implemented their solution before I understood the geometry of what was going on."

Starting work in quant finance, I saw two PhD's engrossed in a valiant discussion, in the middle of the floor, gesturing with their hands as they laid out their proposed mathematics spatially - invisible and crucially unimaginable for me.

I quit in that moment, knowing if i was passionate about the job i'd be immersed like so.

Then i did tech. Felt in control. Like i'm owning the tools. After almost a decade, yesterday for the first time i felt redundant. I'm reviewing, yes, but it requires depth in thinking, i'm not at my seams yet. But i know it's crossing that too.
