Ha! Great write-up. I'm definitely feeling the "incompetence" stage.

As an example, I've read three powerpoints and had a long discussion with Scott Hanselman on how to email. You figure you've been working on the Net forever and you show up at Microsoft and realize you need to be educated on how to email. It's crazy. ;)

As a newbie or (FNG as some of my coworkers like to call me), I agree with the sink or swim attitude but that is everywhere. This really didn’t surprise me. What did surprise me is how everyone is supportive. Even if they aren't on your team, people at Microsoft are supportive. No one has refused to help me when I had a legit question (note legit question). With that said, I also think there is the mentality of “I’ll tell you once” and it is your job to remember.

Also I think it isn’t just incompetence, it is information overload. While I think most programmers are use to this and thrive on it, there is just SO much information that is it overwhelming on top of learning what their job is.
