Well, you haven't been following my sporadic history here (no reason for you to). I do have some friends and acquantances here, I've been supportive and have gotten advice and support, on a very limited number of topics.

When did this become a contest? Besides, I'm sure by the time you are 50 you will have some significant items on your resume.

That's kind of the point of my story. Instead of jumping in on every conversation, voicing my opinion on everything I hear, I put on my head phones and go back to coding.
It's hard for a company to integrate a new senior person. I've seen so many of them come in and on their first day imply to everyone that they're doing a bad job, and he's going to save our sorry asses.
At my new job, I always say people are making good decisions, and instead of making suggestions, I confirm the good suggestions that people offer.
Yet, I also must show expertise and enough leadership to get a F/T job there.
