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've always looked at Introversion/Extroversion using the battery example. As an Introvert, we recharge our battery by being alone, and drain it in groups. An extrovert is the opposite... charge in groups, drain when alone. Out

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

Check out Simple Programmer. He has a lot of articles and email list stuff about building a blog. Quality content on a regular basis is key. Be consistent, and keep writing.

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

Are 1 minute vlogs doable? Sure... it depends on you. You have to have a story. No story, no subscribers. So, if you can tell a story in 1 minute or less... then I think it would work.

Fail early, fail often. Try lots of new projects outside your "skills". See what interests you, and where you want to go. We learn by trial and error. But I think you already know that. I think what you need (to paraphrase the

The one that interests you the most. Look at the language, the types of jobs, etc. Find what you want to do, then learn the language to do that. Learning languages is easy once you get past the first one. So pick stuff that you want to d

Certainly. Obviously, there are some things where age is a requirement. I'm not going to become a professional footballer at 40. But most professions are not age specific. I'm not the biggest fan, but SimpleProgrammer.com has s
