I would like to know why people are down voting this. If you voted this down, why did you.

I agree entirely with FlySwat. There's nothing about this entry that tells me it's worth down voting. If you don't like "fluff" pieces to make you feel better, so be it, but it still makes a relevant point that you should feel inadequate--it's a sign that you know where you are and where you're going.

I downvoted because his advice for bettering yourself involved only doing more, rather than relaxing and reflecting. Advice to program every waking hour is not useful -- it creates the illusion of efficacy while delivering none of the benefits. People who really need help should be told to focus on quality of time spent on learning, not quantity.

That is rubbish.

You do not learn to program by reading a book. You learn to program by programming.
