Amature hobby programmer here . . . yeah Im not going to do what the author suggested. I have no plans on working in the field. I dont care about functional programming or abstraction. I just see a task or project I think will be cool, google what language or framework best fits my goal and learn just enough to do that while using stacks and tutorials for those frequent times when I get stuck. Yes its slow but I dont care Im not on a deadline. I don't want to learn programming, I just recognize that it lets me do neat things and want to lean just enough to do whatever neat thing I have in mind. Its not about learning to program for me, and I assume for people like me. Its about wanting to accomplish a task and seeing programming as a necessay setp in accomplishing that task.
