After countless years of browsing /prob/ and various comp.lang.* newsgroups, I am now semi-competent with regular expression and shell scripting. Additionally, I'm learning more about math and programming concepts, though I have yet to really learn an actual programming language (aside from the little bit of Ruby 1.8.6 I learned back when I used RPG Maker XP). I am now on my way to becoming an expert a mediocre pseudo-programmer. If I keep up this blazing fast pace, perhaps I can achieve satori in 50 years.
