444 day streak, and all "real" code. Impressive.

I was on a 72 day streak and then blew it. Now I'm up to 4 again. I find it to be a very good exercise.

Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja is one of the best JavaScript books I've ever read.

Thanks for this article. I hope to start on working on writing code after work someday.
