So, the big common problem I saw there--and one I'm going to probably get flamed for here? Author seems to be looking at just Web tech. As Uncle Bob said, the web is the worst thing to happen to our industry in 30 years. Had the author started with C or (gasp) assembly, I wager they would be a little less lost, and would have more solid footing--oh, bytes go in here, we do things to them, that gets put into a hash map, that's a decoded HTTP header. No magic. The problem with that though is that it takes a long time and it can be quite a while before you've built something with the same whiz-bang-golly-gee as even a stupid ten-liner in jQuery. Also, despite their mention, the author didn't elaborate on either Java or Objective-C (or, for that matter, perl). Before you throw in the towel on becoming a programmer, maybe you should make sure you're not just giving up on being a script kiddie.
