Sorry to hear that this guy did not make his dream grade. A lot of us have had that experience where you don't get the job of your dreams or get into the university you love...

This is common and part of life, but if every time you fail, you give up, then its not productive.

Recently, I have been thinking that no specific job can define you as good or bad programmer. No school can really define how intelligent you are or how much passion you have for a topic. These institutions can help you discover them but a lot relies on you to really make it happen.

All the best to author of this article, I really hope he breaks out of this low and gets back to doing what he loves.
