A reflection.

In the 15th century, if you wanted to learn from the best, you had to embark on a journey (picture the galleons and nao of that era) and try to reach the last known location of someone considered as master of their craft.

If you were lucky enough to find them, you could offer yourself as an apprentice and, with even more luck, learn directly from them.

Programming comes with an incredible advantage:

the great masters of our profession are alive.

Not only that, you can access them.
Most of them have blogs, or are active on social media.

You can read what they’re working on.
You can even write to them. Just like that.

Take advantage of it.
