Just riffing on the title which some below say is a horrible representation of the article, but "who you know, is more important than what you know." As a old timer in the IT industry, I'd simply like to share that the connections that you make with people are much more important than what you know or what you do for your advancement within almost any company. Now you can't usually be totally incompetent, but the stronger your connections are with people above and around you in your organization, the more allowance you ate given for mistakes etc. What am I really trying to say? Get to know people. Don't stay completely head down in your cube knocking out the best code. Get up every once in a while and build relationships with the people around you.
