Also keep in mind the phases of learning and understanding:
1. I know nothing...this is so hard.
2. I know everything...this is so easy.
3. I know nothing (again), but this time for real since I realized there is so much more to learn.
4. I really, really, really know nothing.
5. Hmm...maybe I might be getting the hang of this.
And in phase 5 other people start calling you a guru. However you'll have no problem finding a job in phase 2.
- phektus 15y agoVery nice. When I first learned Django this year (after a year in Python and several years doing web development) I saw myself as an all-encompassing guru of awesomeness. A few months later I realized how big my knowledge gap is of the framework, and interviews helped me see how much I still have to work on. Easy to feel good on step#2; after that comes the true trial, and they go into cycles. Then you realize you did your 10 years and you still know very little LOL
