Haha... well, in person, probably not. I've been programming since the 80s, and most of the 'voices' I've heard have been writers on programming, besides more recently online on here, SE etc. Not programming professionally, just doing whatever I wanted. I got a copy of Stroustrup 20 years ago, but never read most of it. Have a few other massive C++ books, and a few smaller ones, that I consulted constantly though. Recently I got into LaTeX, read almost every book on LaTeX + TeX available (a couple of dozen), all very good. Got into Prolog, (about a dozen books), all very good... All the books on AWK are great. Same with Lisp. Sure, Stack Exchange is a wonderful resource, hard to imagine doing without it. It's like having a teacher - read the books, then consult the teacher for questions that you can't immediately find answers for in the book. Some things are done better online: bash has a few great websites, and w3schools is great for css/js/html.
