A certification resource would provide an overview of the tools (eg. netsh) that are available on a computer. This was an troubleshooter becomes aware of what resources are available to them. I think this way is better for someone who wants to become an avid troubleshooter or superuser | |

I think the 3rd paragraph is the real key. Super users don't know everything, but experience helps them ask the right questions. In the net example of the OP, I doubt the author knew to use net, but they asked the question "How can I verify that my hardware will allow for bridging?" Getting better at asking the questions (and directly related, researching the answers), is how I find myself improving my skills. This applies to all things, not just technical skills.

There's no point trying to be knowledgeable in all the things (although I'm sure there are some exceptions to that rule, even here). Trying to solve everything with half-baked approaches is often the wrong way to go about it—most people who are new take time to study and learn from others, then apply their new-found knowledge. It's all an iterative process of improving what's already there. | |
