The moment I realized I wasn't a newbie was when I was able to take what I had learned and teach it to someone else. I was working as a webdev at Netscape and I was able to talk to a new hire about web development and help her out. It was a great experience and a sense of responsibility came over me to help new folks on the web. I've been living that now for years and continue to try to be both a student and teacher every day.
