I'm not quite sure why I decided to write to you in response to your blog post; I usually don't. I think you struck upon an old train of thought that I once had when I was about your age that I revisit every now and then (not that I'm far off being 20). I was never content with what I knew in the field of computer science. I've been programming since I was around 14 and I always thought that I was 7 years too late to becoming great. I believed that anyone who was good had been doing it since their birth and I was just mucking around. That thought brought upon a grim burden that I glanced at every now and then whenever I'd find myself writing code. It's not pleasant, I know, however it's a necessary burden for people like us; those striving for greatness while it appears to bless those around us.

It's a burden you will carry for a few more years as you transition into a university and begin to make actual decisions about your life; decisions with a potentially fatal outcome. You will look around at your peer

It seems to be sending different events, pretending something was bought using facebook credits and hoping the server will respond in agreement. I may be wrong but that's what it looks like.
