I've been doing it for going on 18 years, and sometimes I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface.

- Swizec 12y agoI'm in the same boat. Sometimes I feel like I'm getting pretty good at this, but then I talk to somebody and I have no idea what they're saying half the time. It's really ... I want to say humbling, but it's more stupefying than humbling.
- mitchty 12y agoYep, I've been learning Haskell for the past year. Honestly, I consider myself still at the beginner stage at best. But I'm just starting to see a light at the end of a tunnel. It is most definitely humbling to learn new ways to compute that force you to reconsider what you hold true. I liken it to learning a human language and having it force you to learn another cultural viewpoint. You quickly learn that you have been in a filter bubble.
- eru 12y agoI've been dabbling in Haskell for around a decade now. I'm still learning new things.
- mitchty 12y agoMy light at the end of the tunnel remark was more of an analogy that at that point I'll be able to use the language with minimal competency. >.< I can see with things like Idris and dependent types even more of the same of the whole, well I thought I understood computation to a minimal degree, here is another bit of it that totally changes how I view the world.
- Raphmedia 12y agoTake a look at this. http://matt.might.net/articles/phd-school-in-pictures/ http://matt.might.net/articles/phd-school-in-pictures/ Doing more that scratching the surface requires a lot of work and focus.
