HN gives me the impression that on a bi-daily basis there's someone, somewhere (generally an American brogrammer with too much hair and weird glasses living in the Valleyr or NY) who WANTS that I want to learn to code. Is that someone actually the exact same person (looks like it) ? Does he know that code can be executed outside of a browser ?
