Household plumbing and electric. Both are relatively easy as long as you pay attention and do the code research to ensure you're doing it right.

And research ~~protectionism~~ licensing to ensure that doing them won't land you in court.

To do your own toilette paper.

And leaving the jokes behind...
To learn by yourself, to think out of the box, to be curious about things, to be humble but to be confident, to think fast and to speak slow, to be nice, to think twice about something if you are not sure about it, to pay attention to the details...

And about coding skills... it doesn't matter that much. Whatever you want to do will be good, there is no saint grial and everything is good as long as you feel you can learn it correctly.

M.D.V.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

On a serious note, just in case you really are a newbie to the Interwebs: start by joining a discussion group (like this one) which matches up with the things you like (as you're a technical lead, CP is a reasonable bet, but there's something for everyone), and start talking to people.

Just remember to talk to people as if they were standing in front of you, and ignore people who don't return that courtesy.

And don't wait for permission to talk: we're all just faceless voices, so everyone is completely equal, with the same right to take part.

If it had happened in the US, it could easily have ended tragically. Same with some other countries.

As most of these people were probably young men I would have called it a darwinian solution. Definitely would have improved the gene pool.

A bit of a grey area, given that us nerds can tend toward the obsessive where games are concerned.

Which of us hasn't had multiple all-nighters, trying to just get past that next thingummy?

... And then the one after that has to be done, too... And there's no point sleeping now, so might as well do the one after that, as well...

I have to admit that I have been playing the same game for a number of years and I am definitely in the grey area (also well past breeding age).
