No, it wasn't just you!

I dropped CS after first year and majored in Pure Maths.

For me, the time per day I spend on a PC has not changed since getting a tablet. However I can count on my hands the number of times I have bothered turn on TV since getting tablet. The tablet has replaced the TV for me.

Not to mention the lists of lisps.

Great idea. Filtering linkedin contacts who'd like to be poached. I'd like to sign up but I can't work out how! The login link doesn't take me to a register link. The big red poach button seems to do nothing.

It seems they put <a> inside of <button>, when it should be the other way (<button> inside <a>)

This should come as no surprise. Writing code is a medium of expression like writing english or drawing or using a piece of software via a GUI.

Like most of us I imagine Paul would do all of these on a daily basis.

That's a really interesting thought. Is there any correlation between programming and writing abilities? (not that you were saying that) They're superficially dissimilar, but each is a creative endeavor that deals with formulating ideas and organizing them into a particular flow... It does seem that a number of great programmers are gifted writers, as well, but this could be blogger selection bias.

In my experience, a good coder is also a good writer and, if they get over the visceral fear of public speaking, a good speaker.
