I think the terse nature of my writing strikes again. While my remark was intended to be a bit silly, I picked the handle that I have for a reason. I'd prefer to be the noob in the room rather than the expert. Getting outside your comfort zone will set you up for big gains - you won't find your limit until you find your limit. Pick something you want to learn and surround yourself with some smart folks in that area, be the noob and watch your growth. It probably won't be easy but it will be worth it. I didn't blog about but I did fly my noob flag.
Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments to Hacker News? You've already done it quite a bit, and we're trying for a different sort of quality level here. The idea is: if you have a substantive point to make, make it thoughtfully; if you don't, please don't comment until you do.
