The best way to learn
👋 This page was last updated ~12 years ago. Just so you know.
“The best way to learn is to just go out and make stuff, collaborate with people who are better than you at different things, and experiment.”
“That’s what I’ve found, at least. Just be around people who are awesome and learn off them. Trade ideas around and try stuff.”
“Everything I do, I’ve learned from friends, collaborators, people I look up to, and personal experiments. Just going out and trying stuff.”

Some mistakes Rust doesn't catch
I still get excited about programming languages. But these days, it’s not so much because of what they let me do, but rather what they don’t let me do.
Ultimately, what you can with a programming language is seldom limited by the language itself: there’s nothing you can do in C++ that you can’t do in C, given infinite time.
As long as a language is turing-complete and compiles down to assembly, no matter the interface, it’s the same machine you’re talking to. You’re limited by… what your hardware can do, how much memory it has (and how fast it is), what kind of peripherals are plugged into it, and so on.
