Is there a history of people putting concepts out and other people building on them? Yes, of course. The cynicism in this thread regarding this being self-promotion is very unfortunate.

That sounds interesting. You might want to consider increasing the time frame to a month to 3 months. IMHO,a week is too short to go deep into any topic.

Spot on. Sometimes I can't tell if I am reading too fast or if the writing is complicated and I usually assume that I am reading too fast but not here though.

The first two lines of this comment should be written down on every wall of every dev shop in the planet.

"Competence is it's own reward." Nicely said.

this looks very interesting. please share the results of this experiment after you finish teaching a batch of students. Good luck!

True that. I also think it has a lot to do with the culture at your workplace. If everyone in your office works reasonable hours then there is less reason for even junior engineers to put in insane hours.

What is the permanent fix then and also what is the root cause?

Hacker News, in spite of the name which implies only content related to programming does have article does are appealing to sensible and curious souls.

It is not exactly a hard and fast rule, its more like a behavioral pattern where you don't thank the people you are really close to for little things. If you say it, you generally say it like you mean it and not for everyday things.

Cool. I guess in your case it makes sense because of the low interest rate. I didn't mean that you would live with your parents forever. What I meant was since your parent's already own a home, its already an investment by them that you are going to inherit.

I never understood why buying a home is a good investment option since ROI is very low for a very long time unless you sell the house for a higher price or you make all the money through rent, which is probably never happening considering other costs that come with owning a home.

This article makes all the point I was going to write and some more.

just curious, what are your reasons for buying an apartment? I never understood why people bought homes when their parents already own a house.

What exactly is AppAmaGooBookSoft?

You have quite the wonderful portfolio for a guy who is learning to code. What is stopping you from getting a job when developer demand is so high?

currently practicing from keybr. its awesome.

I am exactly like you now, but I am 22. I feel like a retard when I see 18 year olds contributing to open source projects. To an extent we only tend to compare ourselves to outliers and feel like a piece of crap. So, while you have wasted some time, you still have ages to accomplish something great. Time is not your enemy.

This is still a little vague. What does it exactly mean to learn architecture?? Should I be reading the source of the framework and understand how all the design patterns fit in?? How well should one know the language to read the source of the framework?

You have an interesting take on the issue. The question then becomes how do you form and stick to habits?

Maybe this post will make you realize you gotta do what you have to do so that it doesn't become too late.

I have been using Nokia's music store in my Lumia phone.Its pretty basic.If you are looking for a decent library at a low cost it is worthwhile.Some people are using it like a ipod instead of a phone.Of course, you would be locked down to MS.

sites like learnstreet,codeschool,codcademy can they really teach you enough programming to solve huge problems?most of them seem to be just teaching syntax and a few problems to solve seem to be given.

I am new to programming.How much truth is there in the statement"90% of code consists of for,while,if loops"?Even though the page states it is a made up statistic?

I am not a developer.Can anyone tell me why so many frameworks are being created?There seems to be five or six frameworks in each language,new languages being adopted to create frameworks.Why all this work?
