Great article. I especially like the second point. It's where most of my advice has come from. Honestly, out of the 1000s of people whose answers I've read on Stackoverflow, I don't think I've ever once looked at a name.

As regards great people - there are two kinds - those who are great at what they do and can share how they do it, and those who can't. Sometimes with the first kind you can just figure it out by observation. Anyone who says "Oh it's easy" has forgotten how to hold context in their mind.
