am I making progress or losing track?
keefe: Progress can only be measured in reference to a destination, which you don't discuss here. Is your goal to revolutionize some part of CS or some part of society or just to make enough to not have to work?As an aside, I followed the opposite path - math and CS in undergrad and grad, jobs to explore the parts of CS I missed and now I am into practical software development. I'm not particularly interested in methodologies etc. but I find myself here for practical reasons.
