"Perhaps I failed to convey this but my intent was not to give people the best books to learn C or Scheme but good books for teaching elementary fundamentals of computer programming. I feel that these books do a good job teaching the following: algorithms, data structures and problem deconstruction. These are concepts that I believe are fundamental to our craft and is often overlooked by the Junior developers I have worked with that learned how to program on their own."

RT @msimoni: Common Lisp REPLs are like diligent, compassionate assistants. JS consoles are like brainfucked retards with contempt for programmerdom.
"I am 32 and have been programming professionally since I graduated high school at 18 and programming as a hobby starting with BASIC on TI-99/4A when I was 6. As for how I taught this to myself, I started working on a Comp Sci degree after high school and let the greed of the first dot com bubble convince me to drop out and make a good salary without a degree. I've been working ever since trying to teach myself what I missed by dropping out by reading and by doing."

ericmoritz on TIL that it's actually an urban myth that NASA spent 'millions' on a pen that works in space while the Russians used pencils. The actual Space Pen was privately developed, and replaced pencils in both the US and Russian space programs due to the potential of pencils spontaneously burning in space. - http://www.reddit.com/r...

"Allison's story was definitely fascinating. Her story showed to what lengths a traumatized human brain will take to try to destroy itself."
