Comment on Ask HN: What is the best piece of advice someone has told you?parent

Comments

Usually you are in a room with different expertise and culture. How can you definitely say if you are the smartest or not?

What happens with classroom professors or surgeons in surgery rooms? Should they leave the room as well?

If you’re starting out your career as a surgeon, you really better hope you’re not the best surgeon in the room. People will die. Obviously there comes a point when you can’t grow any more and then it’s ok to be the smartest, but that’s hopefully after a long career filled with growth.
