There are only two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors

You said that you go through other posts to learn something...these 'experts' you are asking about wouldn't need to do that (being experts and all...), so what would be in it for them?

When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

If they post a few classes it allows more advanced developers to glance at their project and tell them if they're doing something wrong or right. I don't think people will spend the time to troubleshoot the project but they might notice things at a glance that the novice might just not know. i.e. bad encapsulation, not using proper modifiers.

Which is exactly why so many of them are here, doing what they do now.Marc Cracco wrote:I would guess these experts where in the same situation once and are doing it to give back like someone did for them...

My other question is if this was a pay service who qualifies these people and who says that they are experts in what they say... I do not doubt the ability of the people here otherwise I wouldn't use JavaRanch but as can be seen on the forums sometimes 3, 4, 5 or even more people don't agree on how things should be done.

As a rule of thumb, anyone who ranks above "Ranch Hand" definitely is the most reliable and trustworthy in the case when 3, 4, 5 or more people don't agree on how things should be done.

I will be the first to admit that I don't know everything and calling anyone an "expert" amd taking their word for things is dangerous territory. Even sheriffs or authors make mistakes, ask questions, need help.... et cetera. They are people just like anyone else. Sometimes it takes a different view on things to get something right.
Additionally, the only thing that separates a greenhorn from a ranch hand is post count. This means you can have what you call an "expert" join today and have a post count of 1 and still be an expert giving decent opinions on things.

I do not believe that post count is a metric that means anything other than post count.
