He's actually giving decent advice which is make yourself a source of knowledge on something within your chosen field.
Most people who are just starting out are not going to create the next amazing thing, but it's within reach for them to become a subject-matter-expert (or at least start that journey) so that they can use that knowledge to help them make things (and in the process support their peers and benefit from knowledge sharing).
- Koiwai 6y agoI did read that, again, not everybody can follow that, by that I do mean what he wrote in that thread, not what he did.
- kruxigt 6y agoYeah, actually what he's saying is applicable at a wide range of IQ levels etc. Even if you're not a genius you sure can be the most knowledgable person in town for x. Just that x can't be too IQ demanding. There are tons of people having good careers being this person in for example infrastructure construction(the physical version).
