How to become an expert developer?

Advice from John Sonmez (Simple Programmer) about how to become an expert developer:

A major trap that I see software developers fall into is this: once you get past the "raw newbie" stage in your learning, you open your eyes and realize just how LITTLE you actually know and understand.

The best thing you can do for your career is to recognize the value in the skills you have TODAY...

APPOINT yourself as The Expert in some tiny corner of this field...

And teach what you know!
