Paul Graham on competence

Perhaps I already quoted this from Paul Graham's essay on Great Hackers, but it's worth quoting again.

I've found that people who are great at something are not so much convinced of their own greatness as mystified at why everyone else seems so incompetent.

What am I great at, then, if I'm mystified at how incompetent I seem?
