The idea of lone geniuses single-handedly bringing upon revolutions in science and tech doesn&#x27;t help, and it&#x27;s perpetuated by our culture. Nobody thinks of the leagues of engineers or doctoral students or fellow &quot;no-name&quot; professionals who also do a lot of the work. It&#x27;s really sort of fascinating how we idolatrize singular people who themselves will admit they were standing on the shoulders of giants.
