Did you learn to write by "figuring things out", or did you learn to write from imitating what you've read?
By figuring things out. Like I said, this is my experience. I understand that others' experiences vary, but I have never gotten any benefit from reading anyone else's code.
But you have plenty of time to get 12000 karma here?
Not even in the same ballpark as blogging. I've been here almost 2 years, dropping in daily with a few submissions and responses. Doesn't take long for karma to add up. If I was blogging, OTOH, I'd have to make a major commitment to make regular high quality submissions. I don't care for irregular or stream of consciousness blogs. I'd rather just code.
