Do experts have it easy? Or is there something else?
“Novices often spend energy fixing things that are orthogonal to the actual problem they want to solve, whereas experts are able to better direct their energy towards the problems they want to solve. This leads to novices having an extremely distorted view of a field, because the problems they end up solving are both more difficult and less interesting than those being tackled by experts. Nobody wants to put more effort into figuring out a more boring problem.”
