> Building stuff Oh, absolutely one should build much stuff. Just don't get stuck in the own, in all likelyhood shitty, bubble. > Experts You made it sound fatalistic tho, as there were no use in even trying to identify experts. If you have difficulties telling experts from wanna-be experts, that is your problem, not the problem of beginners. You also don't have to be an expert to recognize an expert. The level of competence needed is way lower than that. The level of social skills needed to recognize the different schools and camps is high tho. But this is rather a social problem than a domain-specific one.

It's pretty easy to tell if someone is recognized as an expert by others. I'm talking about appropriately evaluating and applying that expert advice. You need to be an expert yourself to actually do this, and it's not what beginners should concern themselves with. > You also don't have to be an expert to recognize an expert. You have to be an expert to evaluate other experts and their opinions.
