I can:

  • Accomplish damn near anything from a command line
  • Write machine code
  • Remember a fairly broad swath of special character altcodes without looking them up
  • Disassemble damn near any computer or other machine, and stand a good chance of putting it back together

But also:

  • Use modern programming languages, including object oriented paradigms
  • Actually read what is on my screen and comprehend it, including error messages
  • Understand and operate any arbitrary interface without having to have it explained to me by rote

Behold my mixture of skills, and tremble.

Omg, this all the way. I'm in a class for learning AWS stuff and its crazy the amount of people who suddenly can't do anything when one button is on a different screen than the instructions told them it was. Like come on, use some basic thinking skills.

Another infuriating situation was having to do a class on Microsoft Office. It was infuriating because it was incredibly basic stuff. I've never used Outlook before, but I completed each task they asked of me in like 5 seconds because I have a basic understanding of how software works.
