No Margins: Reflecting yet again on NECC 2008

While at NECC I learned there is an interesting bifurcation of attitudes, but that's true in any industry or any technology or trend. There are the early adopters who think they are the experts and that everyone should go to them for advice, information, whatever. Then there are early adopters who invite everyone into the pool, but also invite the newbies to explore on their own. This latter group of early adopters, the non-divas, are the mentors and encouragers. They are the folks who know they don't have all of the answers and are eager to have others come on board to explore their brave new worlds.
