I have been wondering why it took me so long to become a better, faster programmer. I accomplish as much in a week now as I did in a year back then.

Was I that stupid back then? Have a become a much better learner? Was is the "10,000" hours that made the difference?

No. It was just that fucking hard to make much progress back then. And it's changed so gradually that it's hard to notice.

I've have always known this, but I didn't feel it to this extent until I did this demo.

Great job. Brought back wonderful memories. And new understanding.

Now burn it.
