&gt; Ever see those studies that show that the most vocal person in a meeting is considered the most knowledgeable by the group (even if they&#x27;re the least knowledgeable)? Yeah - software development has this to the extreme.<p>I think this happens a lot online too. It&#x27;s super easy now to become an &#x27;expert&#x27; on a particular technology just by writing a few blog posts about it, tweeting a bunch, or self-publishing a quick ebook. I suspect a lot of people feel like they aren&#x27;t &#x27;expert&#x27; enough to do these things despite them being done by relatively inexperienced people all the time.
