Good to hear. That's essentially how I read the article, and I think it has a special quality to those with the rpg/ fantasy background.
I really love Julia Evan's writing as well, especially the way she's so humble and open about her path.
I have unfortunately met a bunch of folks that while being brilliant, also seem caught up in being seen as uniquely gifted/powerful. When their status gets challenged, they can be particularly nasty in defending themselves. And it's that connotation where the Wizard metaphor troubles me. Looking back I've even see myself getting caught up in this, which I think can be an energetic trap, and really harm relations and even team efficiency.
Funny that a single word has such a dichotomy :) Thanks for the article!
