RE: What's the bar for Geekery?

in #life8 years ago (edited)

In any endeavour there is always someone better than you, just get to grips with that fact and you will be happier. Thats why athletes like the Olympics, cos they get to be champion for 4 years, even those at the absolute top of their sport have to continuously look over their shoulder and they can only manage it in one or two similar events.
So when you talk tech, its the same its such a huge subject, you can be super geek in PC building with crazy modding skills, but be almost clueless on how to setup an FPGA.
So lets say to be a geek you need to be able to have a conversation at a level of detail that the average man on the street wouldnt understand on any single tech subject, sounds fair?
So you are probably a Steemit geek, I am definately a BOINC, Gridcoin and Solarcoin geek.
