| Apr 14, 2014 at 22:50 | comment | added | Andrew B | @MadHatter Good professionals know that they have a strong grounding in certain areas, and that a good team is comprised of individuals who bring different strengths to the table. Bad professionals prefer others to think that they know everything. Bad managers expect them to. | |
| Apr 13, 2014 at 23:41 | comment | added | Michael Hampton Mod | @Iain Maybe, maybe not. It's just one of those very advanced things. I more-or-less know what I'm doing and even I find software defined networking rather complex. Someone who isn't well grounded in the fundamentals has no chance. And it isn't our place to teach those fundamentals, of course. | |
| Apr 13, 2014 at 20:27 | comment | added | MadHatter | Phate, your very first comment on this answer is way off-beam. I've been doing this stuff for twenty years, and I learn something genuinely new from SF at least once a week. Every so often, I get so stumped that I have to ask a question, and the help I've got here is like gold dust to me. I don't want to comment on anything else you've said, as others are doing that, but I do want to squelch your idea that professionals don't need help from other pros. There is a need for that. There is a place for that. This is it. | |

| Apr 13, 2014 at 16:04 | comment | added | Michael Hampton Mod | @Iain It's true we don't have much openvswitch expertise here yet. Mainly that's because it's relatively new. The problem with these questions in particular is they betray a lack of sufficient knowledge of networking, which is a prerequisite for using Open vSwitch. | |
| Apr 13, 2014 at 16:02 | comment | added | user9517 | @Phate: If you are a professional we have expectations that you will know how to do your own research and present it as part of your question - you're not, you don't ... I also looked at your questions. You have a remarkably low hit rate too. This is a clue that SF isn't tuned in to your problem areas. You've asked ~25% (8/34) of the openvswitch questions and the tag itself doesn't have a good hit rate 19/34 unanswered. Perhaps SF isn't the place for you or openvswitch | |
| Apr 13, 2014 at 15:50 | comment | added | Jenny D | @Phate If you're a professional, you are expected to have the basics down. If you need help with the basics, then you ask at one of the QA sites that are for answering basic questions. You wouldn't go to a discussion site for neurosurgeons and ask how to thread a suture needle, would you? | |

| Apr 13, 2014 at 15:25 | comment | added | Phate | Mmm...it sounds like a dog chasing his own tail. If I am a professional I don't need to ask advices to other professionals. I though server fault was a place to ask and share knowledge about network configuration/architectures problems. Take stackoverflow: there are a lot of interesting programming questions, but there are beginner questions too. Last day I asked a question about what to use between nfs and iscsi for a specific problem. I got insults because my scenario was too trivial...people didn't answer to my question, they just condemned my scenario. | |
