“I will keep blogging … for as long as I love and enjoy it”

I’m watching Georgie Luhur Cooke’s talk at DDD Sydney titled “Your blog ≠ everyone else’s blog“, and this quote stood out for me:

I will keep blogging not for as long as someone reads it, but for as long as I love and enjoy it

Georgie Luhur Cooke in “My Blogging Values“

Why you should learn to program

I just watched Christian Genco‘s 2012 talk at TEDxSMU titled “You Should Learn to Program“. It’s a fun 10 minute talk that highlights why it’s so awesome to learn to code.

You should watch this video, regardless of whether you can code or not. As an aside, Genco is a pretty interesting person to follow too.
