The amount to which you can take almost everything personally continues to amaze and astound me.
Someone posts a thread offering some fairly solid/useful advice for people who want to become better programmers ---> you take it as an affront to the way you learn.
Someone calls out your "advice" for being terrible ---> you take it as an attempt to undermine your efforts in helping someone (or at least, to undermine the recognition of you helping someone).
Someone says you can barely program ---> you think this is about you.
Hey, that sounds familiar. You think this is about you. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: it isn't about you. It never was.
Nobody's said anything about them being screwed for the rest of their lives. That's more stuff that's just all in your head.
sigh...
1: That is the surface that you see. What I saw? Some guy who apparently is failing trying to give advice to the next gen. That is like a drunkard saying DON'T DRINK KIDS, DON'T BE LIKE ME. I don't think that is helpful at all. I don't need life advice from someone who is failing a class.
2: I already explained this. You chose to believe that I apparently only think about myself. How can I possibly defend anything I say ever if your only response is YOU THINK THIS IS ABOUT YOU. Uhhhh, if you are talking about me, to me, then yes, I daresay it is about me!
3: The OP found what he needed and left by this point. You all chose to ignore his post and keep fighting FERVENTLY against what I posted. The OP didn't ask you to fact check me.
