[BNM] Freelance Web and Flash Programmers Needed

[Ben Rigby]

A pretty interesting read, especially for anyone relying on people's
self-assessments:

"Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's
Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments":
http://www.apa.org/journals/features/psp7761121.pdf

Now of course I'm one of those in the top quartile of ability at
everything I do, but it's fun to laugh at all those who aren't, but
think they are.
