This shit takes years, man. I started 3.5 years ago and couldn't do shit for the first year and a half. Then I got a tutor who got me set up right, and I could sometimes do stuff. Then, three years into this, I started taking off.

I will point out, however, that I decided to go straight into Lisp.

Where did you find a tutor? Any recommendations of where to look?

Ask about grad students at a good local college.
