Weight the reviews... 1 star gets .5 points, 5 star gets 1. Then balance it out. Or take those 1 star reviews with a grain of salt. I don't think you are risk adverse to reading books... I think you keep talking yourself out of it.

I think it all depends on what sort of programming you want to do. I do a lot of internal web development for a business. Math is rarely used beyond the basics. Algorithms and such just aren't needed. Problem solving and applying l

Welcome to the team! We all feel that way at some point. Others have given some excellent reasons why this happens... so I'll just leave you with a quote. "If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong

Pronounced "pie tree" or "pee tree"? as in "pitri dish"? As @arkitaip said... it doesn't say anything to me, but that isn't a bad thing. Depending on how it's pronounced, it may not be very pho
