Dear Coders,

We teach you to communicate with people, but throughout your life you’re going to have to communicate with machines, also. You’re going to give instructions to your phone, your car, your house, and your personal robot assistant. Either you know how to make those instructions yourself, or somebody does it for you. I vote for digital self-sufficiency!

Programming is just problem solving. And the prize goes to the one who comes up with the most efficient and elegant solution. And the big prize goes to the one who comes up with new problems to be solved.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
