What skills are you justifiably proud of? I read recently that it takes five years to get good at most skills - 10 years to get really good. I think that's about right.

I'm a top-flight programmer. My stuff is readable and clean.
I make excellent BBQ - the real thing, not grilling.
I'm getting to be pretty good at the bass. Not there yet, but it's in my sights.

Each of these skills is something that I've spent a number of years improving on.

What's yours?
