From sysadmin to developer.
A week ago I considered myself quite skilled in GNU/Linux.
Being a certified instructor for Mandriva Conectiva got to count something. :)
But then I had this weird idea of becoming developer. I mean, GNU/Linux developer.
And it all went crazy. Suddenly, I became "n00b" again. Lurking in IRC channels, making stupid queries in Google that return no useful results, doing things the worst possible way, until I find one page describing steps much easier than mine.
Then I go and ask embarassing questions to people in IRC, and they patiently help me understand what that new soup of acronyms mean.
It's crazy feeling a baby again, crawling in baby steps, but learning lots of new tricks. Having that "I'll give up" feeling and fighting it to keep on, there's no turning back now.
Reminds me the Bene Gesserit mantra of fear. :)
So i am not the only one feeling lost
Hehe good to see i am not the only one feeling lost and wondering wtf is going on ;P
The nicest thing about learning new thing is seeing it work, you might struggle all day long just to understand a simple command or function but once you do...it is soo delightful working on it/around it to achieve what you wanted hehe

Wat has been and what may be..are 2 different thing
One you can change and the other you cant.
[it took a real genius to figure that out, so heed my advise ]
