/prog/ 2012 challenge

Brothers and sisters,

As the end of the year comes closer, and we reflect on what has happened on /prog/ this last year, we have to admit that we did not accomplish very much. Perhaps in our private lives, yes, but here on /prog/ we have spent the majority of the year trolling, meta-trolling, complaining about it and going nowhere in particular. If we look at our community I'm going to say we have very little to be proud of: /prog/ kinda sucks.

I say we change all that. I say in 2012 we band together and prove that /prog/ is better than it has ever been before just by making it so. That we can come to /prog/ with an expectation of lulz and wisdom. I'm willing to make the effort, who's with me?

ITT post your new years resolutions for /prog/, I'll start:

* If I have nothing substantial to say I will sage it.

For me, the biggest motivating factor that drives my programming is seeing what I'm able to create, and to being able to watch it run. And it doesn't stop there either, you can always take what you've built so far and use it as a set of tools to produce more and more things. It's like being an architect or a machinist, but rather than being limited by the laws of physics, you are limited by the laws of computation. But as long as you don't strive to build a skyscraper that hovers 200 feet off the ground, then you are free to build whatever you want.
