Developing Expertise: Herding Racehorses, Racing Sheep

A friend sent me this video today.  I would have ignored it as I usually do, but this is one of the authors of The Pragmatic Programmer.  If you haven’t read the book, buy it, read it and then share it with your peers.  When they don’t give it back, go buy another copy (this one you don’t have to share :)

So what level are you?

More recently I’ve had to put my supposed “humility” aside and accept the fact that I am in the “Expert” category.  This blog is part of that acceptance.

Time to put myself out there towards the criticisms of my peers, and hopefully help others out in the process.
