This is amazing and a scenario I had never really considered before. I know it has been said that the best programmers carry around small programs in their heads and map things out mentally — this is kind of the same idea taken to the extreme.

I thought the portion on frontend development was really interesting. Something I had never considered, but to think of it from the angle in which it is presented just kind of blew my mind. This piece made my morning.

edit: I guess this post also just shows that if you want to learn to program and be an engineer, there are certainly ways to make that happen, regardless of specific elements of your situation (to a point, obviously). Really, really neat.
