Ugh I love that book but also completely accurate.

It's an absolute trip that that SICP was used as an introductory text to computer science. What a bunch of absolute legends.

Fun fact, there's about 350 homework problems in the book, so if you do one a day you'll finish the book in a year. Trust me, it's absolutely worth it! After that year it felt like I truly understood all this programming stuff (and this was after a 4 year degree and working as a software engineer for 4 years). The difference before and after was like turning on a light switch in my brain. I improved 5x in that year alone.

It's hard though, don't be ashamed to look up other answers if you get stuck. There's dozens of blogs where people explain every single answer in detail. I had to look up at least 25% of them. Still worth it, best learning investment ever for my career. I seriously think if I'd not done that I'd have left the industry long ago.

Also don't forget to check out the lectures on YouTube. Although to be honest I've not finished them, video lectures bore me too much. They are still really cool to watch.

I still think back to how it felt doing that book and finishing it. I wish I could go back and do it again for the first time. Just so immensely satisfying and empowering. I've tried to find other books like it, nothing quite does the trick. Sigh.

Femboys are good at the bottom and I think 🤔

I like it, well done, keep it up!

Memes that lie?! On the internet?! Someone call the Internet police

I always find that last fellow intentionally hilarious. Just avoiding the gaze then he's just got a full on blindfold

Dear friends,

I have assembled you here on this fine occasion with the hope in my heart that you will all take this opportunity to showcase your talents of the quill and the mind.

Let us cheer each other with prose both flowery and ornate. While the world around us may be filled with horrors and dread, let not our hearts yeild to despair, but rather let us lift each other with turns of phrase meant to delight and amuse.

Yours truly, Pencil_noob

I don't like the mental image of a whole person looking like a deflated balloon.

I'm seeing double here, six communities!

The saddest clown, trapped by his success.

Excellent frame, gave me a good laugh. Really reminds me of angry Homer
