My definition of an expert is someone from Atlanta with a briefcase.
Oh wait! Wrong list.
I'm by no means an expert on anything, except maybe South Louisiana food,
but I'm a better than fair developer. I know what I don't know and I will
turn to the experts for help when I need it. I will also help anyone I can,
because doing that will help me hone my knowledge.
These traits, experience, knowing limits and learning through helping
others, are what I think makes the core of an expert.
