Exactly. The oddest things can lead in the oddest places. I got my current awesome job because I dabbled in Erlang a bit, a language I would only have heard of via various Internet sites. That one hit alone is worth a lot of misses. (And I got that job because of other things I found on the Internet, and, well, actually all the way back to my very first real job.)

With no offense intended to pg, it's not really anybody's place to decide what is good or not good for me when I can't even tell until years later.
