When I was in college, I used to look at the kids who took the compiler theory classes and loved to work in assembler and think to myself, “Thank goodness you like that stuff.  Now I can concentrate on solving real problems with C.”

Now I realize that I’m starting to look at C programmers the same way.  “Thank goodness you like that stuff.  Now I can concentrate on solving real problems with Python.”

I guess I’m just a “top of the stack” kind of guy.  Shoulders of giants and all that.
