When I was 13, I thought I was an excellent programmer because I could use inline assembly in Pascal to put my graphics card into VESA mode and draw circles. I gave everybody advice, with absolute confidence. My geocities web page was full of tips and tutorials.
Now, at 27 I think there are many things I should improve upon and many things I have to learn. Isn't it sad how much worse I've gotten in those 14 years?

At 64 I'm finally learning Lisp. Ah the wasted years.
