Dave’s story resonated with my past. I have struggled in the past a lot when I first tried to learn to program. I am quoting Dave here in this paragraph when he said this as I am paraphrasing his word “Perl was my first programming language, but only after two failed attempts at learning how to program. After seeing the movie Tron and being inspired by the idea of an entire world existing inside my computer, I attempted to teach myself BASIC on my Apple IIe when I was 12 years old. I acquired an Apple-published BASIC manual, but I couldn’t figure out how to use it in a fascinating way. I soon gave up when I realized I wouldn’t be able to make anything other than text-based games.”
what I found the most interesting in this reading is the way they have separated all the concepts about craftsmanship. Everything seems to build around it. After reading through the rest of the chapters, I found there is a lot of great information that is available and relevant today. In Chapter2 through 6 there are talking about it.

After reading through this book, I wonder how we should approach the idea of craftsmanship and the basic principles that need to be allowed.
