Seems like my point might not be getting through.

I apologize for being blunt, and I don't mean to sound argumentative here, I'm just trying to give you an outsider's perspective:

You should not tell people you learned more in 2 months than in 20 years.

That's all I meant.

It makes you sound crazy, and its also wrong.

Maybe you built more or you feel more capable than you have felt for 20 years, but you surely did not learn more.

I don't need to hear anything from you about how the capability of the average developer has changed. I'm well aware of that already.
