This is one thing I need to learn to say. I have been doing lots of stuff other devs want and hating myself for not being able to say no.

SICP made me fall in love with Lisp even more. It taught me how powerful the tandem of function and closure can be.

This is one of my recent decision. Previously I would jump to every shiny frameworks and try to learn every fancy programming languages. This drained my energy so much I had to stop doing it. Instead I have decided to learn ubiquitous tools e.g math, algorithms and data structures, etc.

I agree with you on this.

Ask HN: As a developer what are your aha moments?

from the ask-hn dept.

To me the aha moments where as follows:1. When I was introduced to QBasic2. When I got to know how simple and amazing Lisp is3. When I was able to code at the speed of my thoughts with VIM4. When I got to know Express.js (after learning Django)5. When I knew that everything in Smalltalk is a message including if else statements
