I read a few blog posts and saw one video regarding the subject of this post:

1. Jeff Attwood

2. Scott Hanselman

3. Jean-Paul S. Boodhoo posted a link to a youtube video on passion

What i sum up from this is, the people with blogs are not always the most skilled, they are the most loud.

So in a company you might have to programmers: a skilled and not very loud  programmer and a not as skilled but loud programmer.

The last one it the one most likely to have a blog, but he is also not the most skilled.

So the problem is that the web  is flooded with blog posts from loud but not most skilled programmers. But when you search for answers for your problem you get answers from loud programmers.

What James Ray says in the youtube video is that the most passionate people are likely to be the most successful.

But aren't the most passionate the most loud?
