  • A good way to have good ideas is by being unoriginal.

    Ideas   Way   Programming

  • My father taught me Basic and rudimentary C, I learned everything else on my own, including studying computational complexity on my own. That's more a function of my age than anything else though - back when I was in school there were hardly any programming classes.

  • Give and ye shall receive.
