I mentioned my IRC resources as part of my profile when discussing my
skills with my current employer:

"I don't know everything, but I almost always know someone who knows
what I need to know about."

I've found it to be invaluable: whether it be #gnhlug, or other people
in other channels helping me with HTML, or other things like that.

I consider IRC my first place to ask questions, right alongside Google.
Even if I don't know something, someone, somewhere does, on IRC.

The trick is to find them and convince them to help you :)
