This post is amazing! The best quote is ...
"For example, the biggest time I scrubbed out in my entire life was a choice that I made almost a decade ago: going to college."
A refreshing insight from a very intelligent individual!

I have more complex feels about it as a general thing, but for me, I'm not sure I made the right call. I did learn a lot, and I made some very dear friends, but it was extremely expensive. If you (or anyone reading) are someone who's making this decision, please give it serious consideration, and don't just copy me: this is a really, really big choice to make in your life, and one you deserve to make for yourself.
It's taken lots of work. I think I'm a nicer and better person in Rust than I was in Ruby, but that's all I'll say about that. I am very much not a perfect human being.

I wrote a blog post on that a while back: http://words.steveklabnik.com/how-do-you-find-the-time it's still mostly accurate kinda.
