I don't really see those Necro badges as devalued by other badges. I have 14 of them that I'm pretty proud of. I think each one of them represents a good answer to a question most people had ignored or forgotten about. I'd mu

Under "poor pedagogy" the author explains the "give a man a fish" problem on Stack Overflow, then goes on to explain that giving fish is how he gained most of his reputation. How about being part of the solution instead

There are a set of tools that you gain access to when you hit 10k reputation, which are often referred to as the "10k moderator tools." I think this is what the author is talking about when he says he was close to moderator status

Someone bought two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoin in 2009. So... that's looking like a wise investment. http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/11/mf_bitcoin/ (From the 20/20 hindsight department.)

This is a pretty good rule of thumb for posting questions online (Stack Overflow) as well as asking your co-workers. Take the time to understand the problem yourself so you can better present it to someone else.
