Sure, but chillax. You have a long way to go. :) Maybe about 9 years and 10 months before you really get going! http://norvig.com/21-days.html http://norvig.co

Sure, but chillax. You have a long way to go. :) Maybe about 9 years and 10 months before you really get going! http://norvig.com/21-days.html http://norvig.com/21-days.html Most of us old timers (> 21) probably didn't start programming because of TechCrunch hype or even on Web development anyway. Too much emphasis occurs on Web development (oh snap, I said it). Keep at it but as unpopular opinion as it is, programming is a long slog, not just the product of fliiping out a few RoR projects or going through a couple cool tutorials on Javascript with fancy interfaces (not saying this applies to, just a general comment). As for whether you wait too long, probably not, but you're only 2 months into this deal, the jury is still out. :) Anyway, there's people in the Valley that would probably say you are toward the end of your career, 25 being basically providing two options, either become a well known, famous guru or straight to the glue factory . I don't really buy that, but that view is probably more common than mine.
