   After 30 years in IT industry, I am not sure if I'm a novice or an expert. I don’t know anything.

     @nixCraft Welcome to the club. In my case, I used to be an expert in technologies that are no longer needed. Right now I'm in my third convertion in the last 30 years

     @nixCraft as long as you stay curious and aware everyday to learn something more, you just don't raise such a question.

     @nixCraft I never consider myself an expert in anything either. Too much shite to know about now to be expert in anything anyway.

     @nixCraft it seems that the world of computing and technology is a black hole

     @nixCraft You are not the first to feel this. The great philosopher Socrates said that "εν οίδα ότι ουδέν οίδα", meaning "I know one thing, that I know nothing".

     @nixCraft Knowing what you don’t know makes you the expert. Because you know everything else.

     @nixCraft Questioning if you know anything at all is the first step to becoming a master

     @nixCraft It takes considerable knowledge before one can realize just how little one knows.
