Comment on: Hey I'm trying to start learning programming but i am having a hell of a time starting. Is there a correct pathway to starting the adventure that is programming?

Personally I find what you're asking to be the hardest part of programming. Once you can pretty much do anything, what the heck do you do? Best answers I've seen is pick something you're already interested in, find a way to start programming. Or, you can find an open source project, join the community, and learn through your contributions there.

I work with tech (but not specifically application dev,) so I try to script little things, or write small programs to help track daily tasks or whatever. Programming is an endless bottomless pit, so you have to have an outside interest to attach it to or you can just spall around forever picking up bits and pieces and never actually accomplishing anything.

Comment on: What do you listen to while you write code?

I find that if I'm in the mood to listen to music, it helps. If I'm in the mood for classical, it helps, but otherwise it's just annoying and is counter productive.

I hadn't heard of any of the those bands. I'm diggin' em.

Comment on: Does Voat have a python API?

This is cool and I'm going to read this in two weeks when I can play with it.
