Not necessarily; everyone has ignorance in SOME field of endeavor. I
happen to be a professional software engineer, so I got his point
immediately. But, I am hardly an expert at database design, and even
less so at working with Maven, and even less so at computer gaming.
Yeah, that's sad, isn't it? I couldn't play my way out of a paper bag
even if PVP was turned off. ;)
(Just give me my Atari 2600 emulator and a ROM image for Missile
Command, and I'm a happy camper!)
Try not to be so hard on yourself, and don't take anything I say too
heavily. I tend to write in a more serious tone, because that's the
kind of environment I grew up in, and thus, is the kind of guy I am.
That doesn't mean I'm trying to be condescending on anyone, though.
Worse still, e-mail and other online forms of communications are
notorious for lacking body-language cues. Case in point: I managed to
ROYALLY offend two co-workers (senior level engineers!!) via e-mail
and I haven't even worked here for a month yet. Yet, some
face-to-face contact immediately resolved the issue. (I'm still
right, though. Bwaahah!)
