  • I think your point here is relevant.

    One can never truely evaluate its own competence.

    A degree, or good reviews from collegues are good indications you are competent. But also these are not proof: it could be a result of incompetent collegues, or an education that was not that good.

    Not having a degree, but saying you know for sure to not have any Kruger raises lots of eyebrows for me: you do not know what you do not know.

    Coming back to op’s original question: the correlation comes from that education shows you what you do not know. You are getting involved with all kinds of subjects, and you get a grasp of how many there is left to learn and how smart certain things are. You might for example have never thought about the complexity of a compiler. This can make you feel dumber than if you would have never found out these fields existed.

    Imo I think kruger is much more harmful than imposter





  • Whenever I do not feel like running but know I should, I just put on my running clothes. And I tell myself that I will just do a short run.

    That way I make it myself easy to do a minimal effort run, but usually when I start that way I still do a pretty ok round.

    What I want to say is, make it yourself easy by lowering the bar somehow. Once a week a run of 30mins is already better than doing nothing.



  • Would it still be possible to use Strava? I recall Strava has some server sided stuff so not everything works to full extent (especially regarding using sensor data).

    Then again, integrating strava might actually cancel out the whole point of having control over where your sensor data is stored, or am I misunderstanding something here?
