I think the older one gets the more aware of one's abilities, strengths and shortcomings. I also think there's a higher level of acceptance of each of these.
In applying for a UPA position, I needed two references. I asked Bharat and Mark. Bharat's seems pretty right on in my opinion:
Bharat Mediratta: ok, here's what I've written Bharat Mediratta: To whom it may concern, Bharat Mediratta: I've known Kitt socially since about 1995 and have collaborated with her on ultimate and technology related projects since about 1998. I worked with her in a profesional capacity from around June of 2000 to around June of 2004. During this time, I found her to be smart, talented and generally a pleasure to work with. Bharat Mediratta: Kitt's strengths are intelligence and creativity. She is quick to learn new technologies and has no shortage of good ideas. She is a very capable and prolific software engineer when she is working on projects that interest her. I've typically found her to be highly motivated when working on web based software projects and ultimate frisbee related activities. Doing software engineering at the UPA seems like it would be a good conjunction of the two. She has strong math and analytical abilities and a solid grounding in the fundamentals of web based software development. Bharat Mediratta: Kitt's weakness is that she is put off by complexity unless it's associated with something that she is very motivated to solve. The only times when she has failed during our professional career together have been times when she was required to work on difficult and uninteresting problems. During the times when she was engaged on interesting problems she consistently worked diligently to complete her tasks as quickly as possible. Bharat Mediratta: ----- Bharat Mediratta: it's an unfinished masterpiece. pretty fair, though I think. Kitt Hodsden: Got me pegged.
