> Just remember this...

> Learning how to program gives you a robotic mind. The kind of mind that cannot comprehend the arts, the humanties, and so on.

> Be careful what you think you "need to learn". When you stare into the machine you get the soul of a machine.

Protip: If you have an east facing window, you'll get a lot of rainbows in the semiraining afternoons at 6-7pm, like at my house!

Java #1, C# #3. Really conservative of you, Mashable.

Looks almost exactly like what was being recommended to know circa 2005. And not very far off from the ideal list to know circa 1995!

Except C# didn't exist in 1995. And the JDK didn't exist until '96.
