A comment on When and Why to Learn to Program.

Good article about finding out how to get motivated to learn something, but this has very little to do with coding aside from the context of the goal.

Aside from that, stuff like:

"Here's why I finally learned to code: I've been a web entrepreneur since I was eleven years old — for over sixteen years now..."

Makes me discount just about everything that was written. I just have a bitter taste left over from this massive ego leak.

Wasn't meant as an "ego leak" as you say. It was only meant to emphasize that I've been doing this for a long time and had many stops and starts. I was only really able to start learning when I figured out the when and why for me.
