I mean I laughed. But yes, tptacek worship, even from wannabes like me, is annoying (perhaps even to him). My point was can someone steer us to good materials. I proferred what I heard hoping others would correct me and other posters. I like the premise of LCTHW. Why not show me small projects that are simple to compile, but sucky and basic, and ask me to gradually fix him. I went through a few chapters, and it is good. I am just lazy. But the projects are small. If somene fleshed this out into something more thorough, it would help sucky learners like me everywhere!
