"The Best of edw519" is now free. Reverse Happy Birthday

The problem is to keep it focussed on "productive" output - otherwise you end up like that guy who wrote TeX instead of The Art of Computer Programming; or Blart Versenwald III¹; or

    6. It automatically classifies unread comments based upon similarity
    to classified comments and some rules. (The idea was to classify the
    first 300 comments and have the software classify the remaining
    3,700. I realized this capability was unnecessary when the book
    would only contain 256 entries. Oh well.)

Not to look this wonderful gift horse in the mouth (all the bits I looked into at random were actually great), but it would be nice if titles linked to their comments.

Happy Birthday Ed! Thanks so much for all the inspiration. I've been reading this book for the past week each day during my bus commute. You have no idea how much pumped I get and can't wait to get to office and start hacking. Thanking you so much Ed for this.

I'd like to support the author - is it possible to purchase this book and read it on Kindle?

I like that age is not important in programming (see 94).

So H.B. to you.
