If you ever surf the web, then you probably know the feeling of following links around, with each destination more interesting than the previous, until, after a half hour, or maybe longer (on good days) you think to yourself, "What the hell was I doing anyway?". Well I thought I'd quickly share my last link journey (can it really be called that, I only have 4 links).
I started reading some blogs, which may be, by the way, the laziest, least effective, but most interesting way to be a better programmer. And interestingly enough, the last link on this post is also how my journey started. In reading a recent post of Mr. Hanselman he linked to a Google search. The top two results of said search both were, surprisingly enough, links to posts by Mr. Hanselman himself. (Do you think he realized that, when he provided the link?) I digress.
The first result of said search was this post, which had a link to here. The post Scott linked to was enjoyable, but it linked to a great article, and it seems like these deep dives into the web always involve Paul Graham. What does that say about me? Among other things, it may mean that I have similar values to Mr. Graham, minus the love of Lisp, the ambition, the money, and probably the intelligence and writing skills as well.
