The difference a year makes — 2 years ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

I first read this book about a year ago. That time, I was using a lot of C++ and Java. And I thought that Graham was being overly biased with Lisp. Then I starter learning Ruby, Python and also some Perl. Rereading some chapters tonight showed me just how true what Graham says. There is an increasing trend toward languages that can indeed be shaped to fit the application. Ruby on rails is a good example of this.
And finally, I am going to take the plunge and see what Lisp is all about.

Computers in every pocket — 2 years ago

With smartphones and cameraphones the first choice of many people, the fact of the matter is that we’re carring computers in our pockets. We should learn how to make them suit our needs and sometimes that means hacking them so they work in ways to suit us best. Paul Graham understands this and he tells more about it by getting inside the head of hackers.
