The REAL Reason Average Engineers Surpass the So-Called Brilliant Ones

Описание: Most people believe you need to be brilliant or a genius to succeed in software engineering — but that’s far from the truth. In this video, I share a real story from my college days that proves how an average engineer can grow into a top 1% performer. We break down the three traits that actually make or break a software engineering career: consistency, genuine interest, and a humble learning mindset. This isn’t a motivational speech or a tutorial — it’s a reality check based on real industry experience. If you’re feeling “average” today, this video might completely change how you see your future.
