In the past I thought so:
Common money-earning programmers just have the skill to comprehend with their egg-heads how program flow moves between multiple levels of functions and classes calling each other in a “perverted”, unpredictable, messy fashion.
While I am a programmer, too, I am different: I am a mathematician, I comprehend abstraction, generalization, the beauty of mathematics. My mind is better. I am to a programmer like a programmer to a woodworker (even if a woodworker happens to earn more).
But once I realized: When mathematics develops infinitely, the deep of abstraction and generalization increases indefinitely. Mathematics becomes like “common” programming. Infinite levels of abstraction become like a “messy” computer program. (Yet, mathematics remains beautiful.)
Here comes humility. My mind may be relatively good just in a short term. In the long term we need to suffer hard programming and commit humility to what may seem a common work, not something magnificent. Yes, it’s what is called humility in the Bible.
In likewise fashion, suffering on this Earth, solving common economical problems (“I am not rich because I am too clever, I am not a common woodworker who earn money with his work.”) is an entrance into the future world, where generalization and abstraction develops infinitely. So the Bible teaches.
Can you be more specific about the content of your article? After reading it, I still have some doubts. Hope you can help me.
