#12There is a handful of people whose tabs I would instantly pick up were I to meet them somewhere because of the immense value I have gotten from their free work online, writing stuff, answering forum posts, etc.
Beej possibly tops that list.
Re: Beej's Guide to Network Programming
#13All Beej's guides are fantastic, but if you're interested in Network programming you could do way worse than follow this up with his guide to network concepts. https://beej.us/guide/bgnet0/
If you search Algolia for Beej you'll see his material has been on hacker news numerous times.

#14> "The way I see it, it's the educators who hold all the power in the world. No, stop laughing and hear me out. A good instructor can, over the course of their career, create hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars of GDP. Let's say a teacher teaches 40 students a year for 30 years. And Each of those students goes on to work for 40 years. And, due to the quality of instruction, they earn $10,000 more per year than they would have otherwise. That's $480 million in extra revenue. From one good instructor."
OK but providing value isn't the same as having power. It's almost the opposite thing.

#15My nick has been Beej or b33j ever since starcraft or counterstrike 1.5. I will always bring up “but you know who the real beej is, right?” if the other person is a nerd.
> counterstrike 1.5
I miss WON. Man my friends and I hated Steam when it came out...

#17Posted a million times before, and should be posted a million times again in the future. This is one of the only reference books I've ever used, and it got me through my first real programming job. Wonderful text. Thank you, Beej!
