Yeah, I’ve had more than my fair share of people thinking I’m a wizard because I’m good at hunting down information and applying it. At my last job it got to the point where people either thought I was IT or that I was the magic computer wizard of Ox or something. “Hey, is Jira down?” “IDK, I’m not IT…” “Can you restart it?” “No, because I’m not IT…” But then I’d tell them who could actually help them so they’d always come back to me the next time they had a problem.

You are the Wizard of Oz? Weak. I am the wizard of 0x.

I’d much rather be a wizard living in a dark, forbidding tower that people only approach in times of great need and when they do they bring a sacrificial offering of homemade baklava to placate me
