Beautiful. The site really made me feel like this is something I need. I’m also confused about whether it's `Manpack` or `ManPack`; I see both. I recommend you stick to one.

I learned programming by hacking on other people’s code – manipulating it to fit my needs. Try to find an open source project you can mess with. I can’t say for sure how much fun this’ll be for you: The next time you think to yourself, “

I don’t think a problem has to be significant to be useful to someone. I just think it’d be ideal to work towards a product (no matter how trivial) that the beginner could feel proud of and actually appreciate how it’s helping them. Lear

I couldn’t imagine jumping into programming (or even wanting to) without a problem to solve first. That’s the whole point of programming, anyway. If someone wants to learn programming, maybe we could help by directing them towards a problem

How’d that work out for Reba? And why did Reba want to learn programming in the first place?

That can be wise, but not entirely practical when you think to yourself all day, "I can't solve this problem. I'm going to sleep."

I like that Joel decides to say "OK, forget about Subversion or whatever you know about source control in general. I'm going to teach you about the DVCS way from the ground up." It's great that he treats this guide like an introduction to

When I think about it, I'm thrown off by this pattern whenever I see it, too. It's also interesting to think about text input versus dropdown select if you decide to go for manual state entry. I prefer just typing in the abbreviation, but

Right, and labeling them is not much different from calling them dumb. I think something's wrong with us "passionates." Why aren't we seeing any value in these everyday "content" people?

Good job, this is really nice. Like you mentioned in your announcement, this tool seems like it's primarily useful for (important) business. Is there anything you can do that would make me feel assured that the conversion is accurate? I'm

Is this a nugget of wisdom or a naive frustration / hate piece? I can't help but relate to the author (in this post, too: http://www.marco.org/43768310 ) and feel annoyed by the "average" person's lack of passion and inattention to detail

Gates is obviously really guarded here. The inspirational Bill from the 2007 D5 interview ( http://d5.allthingsd.com/20070530/d5-gates-jobs-interview/ ) would be stoked on iPad.

Heh, I think we mostly agree. My real concern is that I'm not sure school bus wifi really does much to save kids from brain-rotting.

Is anyone else a little weirded out by this? It seems wrong that these kids are sitting quietly on their MacBooks instead of socializing while they're all together on a school bus. Is the Internet really that necessary for doing schoolwork

My issue is more with people who like xkcd and the subculture surrounding it. I feel like that's really what the author is saying. It's hard to deal with your world being infiltrated by newbies who act like they know everything.
