I think I "read" about programming for something like 15 years (books, blogs, HN, proggit, irc chat) I started actually coding seriously and properly the past 1-2 years. Easily learned a hundred-fold more by doing it, literally.

I honestly really like Bolt's look, and not because it "stands out" as being electric. I like crossovers (Prius, Impreza, etc.) and I think this one has great aesthetics. I like model 3 less, but that's just me. Differen

Saying they're the same is like saying Notepad2 and Sublime are the same, both have status bars which indicate place in text, both support copy+pasting of text, etc. If you have a 3d modeling program of some sort, of course it will hav
