I think I understand what you mean, but I don't think that's what the comment your are replaying to is all about. I think it's good to do both, trust in your knowledge (and so don't "join a priesthood") and still know that you "nothing" (or just a tiny bit).

Hmm, or maybe I didn't understand you or the first poster and that's what you meant. Sorry, I'm a bit confused right now.

Also I wonder how many people ever read this. Most of these things you'll realize sooner or later as it is what really makes you a good and experienced programmer. I'd just suggest to be open minded and think for yourself, but I guess that's a good suggestion for your whole life.
