Everybody learns different, but I'm wondering how many HN readers are "code-first" sorts of learners?

Whole heartedly agree, I can't believe how well it breaks it down. I'm already looking forward to the next post about transaction verification. I'm actually going to try and solve it myself before reading the new post.
