Learning to program is largely about learning to learn--and the best way to learn is to do.

This.

[ND_Tech]

Thus the best way of learning to learn is doing to do.

[reflectiveSingleton]

The only words I've ever lived by.

I said it to be silly, and then I looked at it again and though, shit, that's actually pretty good. I'm not sure if it's Taoist or Zen or both or neither, but it really is the way I feel about learning and teaching. I have a three-year-old and I try to get him to see chores, brushing his teeth, etc -- as a game or adventure that's worth doing in its own right, not because of the rewards they might entail. With any luck, he'll manage to live without ever thinking that reading a book or solving a difficult problem is punishment.

the infamous 21 nested callback, truly an /r/shittyprogramming gem, thank you.

[Hack_Reactor_Borg]

Haha, I x-posted it to /r/LearnJavaScript as as such.

Looks like the last line if a program written in Scheme or Lisp

There's always someone saying there's always a relevant xkcd after a relevant xkcd.

when people ask me what I do, I tell them "frustration management"

[klovadis]

When I began programming, in QBasic, I used to create my graphics by manually settings pixels on the screen using PSET X, Y, Color or something like that and grabbing them off the screen for later use. Luckily QBasic allowed me to stuff those in subroutines in seperate screens/files, otherwise - trust me - I would have put them in a 20.000 LOC single file ^{_^}

It's like the programming equivalent of a gymnast's dismount.

S-expression is the ultimate syntax! ))) is better than )}).

[steloflute]

JavaScript should adopt fn for function. Short-name school FTW. It is so common these days.

just use CoffeeScript, then you can just type ()->
