Skill Levels explained:

	Newbie	You're brand new to web design/development. Most of this looks like a foreign language to you, if not all of it.
	Rookie	You have a very basic understanding of web code. You have no idea how things really work but you're capable of copy/pasting in hopes of making things work.
	Hacker	You picked up enough experience over time to feel comfortable writing code while copy/pasting the things that you don't quite understand yet. You're proud of your ability to use Stack Overflow.
	Coder	You've actually worked somewhere that pays you to code. Most of this makes sense to you and you've probably got an opinion or two on how it could be done differently.
	Architect	You're like me! A seasoned developer who's spent thousands of hours developing solutions for the web. The hardest part of your day as a programmer is naming things.

Regardless of where you are in this chart, if you're serious about being a good developer here is my simple advice - never stop learning. That's what separates the best from the rest.
