Comment on A letter from _why

Comments

_why is not an average programmer. His advise is good for masters of programming. He is also a super nice guy and sounds like he thinks anyone could become a super programmer.

I don't think so. And I fear his advice will be taken most to hart by below average programmers.

One of the worst thing about this industry is the constant idolization of programmers, and languages by below average programmers.

Any industry for that matter; just replace programmer with <musician> (for example).

I learned to make computer games by making below average computer games. What's wrong with someone learning to make programming langauges by making below average programming langauges?

It happens in every group of people.
