A very nice analogy.
The problem with some newbies is that life has been very smooth
(everything taken care) for them with lot of spoon-feeding that they
expect everybody to help them the same way. They haven't yet seen the
(harsh) realities of life.
So, when they begin to face the real world with different
personalities (this list, for example), they are suddenly pushed to a
state where they find that people don't give them their doze of
spoon-feeding as how they are used to. So, they start to complain
about it.
The smart newbies will accept that life is different out there as
compared to what they are used to, thank this list for educating them
(optional), improve their competence, and prove their valour with
their work.
