Hmm, my point in writing that page was not to say that I am a great coder...
The idea was to explain to people one path they might take to learn computer programming.
People always ask me how to become a computer programmer.
I just thought I'd spell it out.
Who cares what kind of coder =I= am.
By the way, I didn't submit that thing to here.
And I don't know who did.
Nor did I even know here existed.
Enough bout that. I've got a midi sequencer to write.

- gruseom 18y agoSteve, it's a thoroughly delightful story. I read the whole thing (well, I did skim a couple places - I've got work to do), identified with large stretches of it and enjoyed all of it. It captures the feeling of being completely enraptured with computers when you're a kid. Brought back some memories for me. "Here" has been slow lately. I'm glad somebody posted your thing. By the way: why on earth wouldn't you put this stuff on your resume? Don't you know there are employers out there who actually get what it means to be a born programmer, which you obviously are? Not everything out there is Oracle Forms - even within your 15 minute commute. Raise your goddamn standards :)
