I wanted to add something -- the story about the students in that link happened to me too. When I started with the 2nd course, I had a unique perspective in the sense that a lot of my friends were already in the industry and were nice enough to help me when I asked for it. What came naturally to them was very difficult for me to grasp at first, and it helped me push myself to work harder at actually studying instead of just winging it. There's also peer pressure when you see everyone else studying hard and submitting competent projects compared to your own piece of crap work, all the while knowing that there's no excuse for your failings because with code it's either right or wrong and a direct byproduct of how much you actually studied and work on your technique.

Very insightful indeed. Thanks for linking, Jake. That R. R. dude sounds like your cousin.

How ironic that he's named R.R. then
