The Path to Mastery
summary
Covers concrete milestones: building web.py and Infogami, creating an 8085 simulator in C/Turquoise, writing a Java serialization format still used after 15 years, reverse-engineering macOS .app/info.plist for clean installs, quitting a job to join Infogami’s team, and organizing roughly 100 Python workshops nation‑wide. Emphasis is on practical habits: take the first step, solve interesting problems, challenge yourself—pick tools, attempt hard projects, join communities, and watch specific experiments and small projects produce long‑term payoff.
