- ashconnor 15y agoI believe this a popular new phrase thanks to Zed Shaw.
- MaxGabriel 15y agoIt's been awhile since I've read LPTHW, but as I recall from the intro, and from the LXTHW site, ""Less Talk, More Code" summarizes the philosophy." Given the lack of emphasis on doing here (outside the last book) I don't think this post really captures that philosophy (That's not a commentary on the quality of this post though, or the recommendations)
- bad_user 15y agoIt's a little tongue in cheek, it's a little bit of truth. Reading an introductory book is still way harder than just diving in trying to force a square peg into a round hole. It's also hard if said book contains exercises (which 2 of those books do), after all we can always find other things we'd want to do with our time. I feel like I offended you in some way. I apologize.
