My thoughts on the negativity in the tech community, how I went from a miserable, negative programmer to a happy one, and small steps to get there.
How I learned to program, and my advice for beginners: use Linux, want it badly, build small command line programs, write a lot, join IRC, have fun.
A short note to myself: what makes programming fun isn't finishing tasks, it's the problems themselves and the process of learning. Never stop hacking.
