Reading about how Feross learned how to program computers was really interesting. I was surprised that he started at such a young age! I doubt I could have even created a semi-functional website NOW, let alone when I was 11! However, I believe what he says fully. Practice can only make you better. Doing something over and over again can only help you to become better. I think we could all use this when it comes time to write our first paper assignment. Write several drafts; get second opinions, third opinions, and heck maybe even FOURTH opinions! It can’t hurt right?
Any problem with writing can be solved by writing more. The same way that Feross learned to be great with computers. He did tons of side projects, and along with his school assignments, he practiced for four to five hours a DAY! I’m not saying that we need to put in quite that much dedication, but a little bit would be good. Not to mention… these papers coming up? They’re our grade! So it’s kind of important, if you ask me.

Ultimately, practicing anything will get you better results. In Feross’s case, his practice enabled him to gain skills in an area of work, get a great job, and hopefully a successful future. We can all apply this to our works in the classes to come.
