@koakuma innate talent exists but people give it too much credit. if you throw enough randomly initialized neural networks out there, some of them will be more suited to a given task than others.
they're still omnicomputers it's not like you can't teach them to do it anyway.
it does take persistence, and its deliberate practice not 'just' practice hours. 1,000 hours of the same task doesn't do much (i would know, i did the thousand cube drawing challenge.)
@koakuma@tlapka yeah i'm aware of spoon theory :neocat_woozy:
for the most part there is no 'comfortable' way to deal with limitations. studying / penances always suck and the only real advice people came up with throughout time is to just cope with the pain.
the other part is narrowing scope down to something manageable. if you're constantly dealing with 'drowning*' tasks you have to outsource or abandon the things that are generating them. the social business books talk about the need to say 'no' to things and be very selective about 'yes.'
for low spoon people you probably have to figure out how to abort or outsource more than someone else
* started to label some tasks as 'drowning' because you have to do them just to maintain status quo; there is probably a better name. i think i was going to call them 'above-water' once
i think the latter is more human. the former makes people really sad because they start thinking pro's are just factories of perfect works 24/7 and in reality.. they fail a lot. :blobcatgoogly:
