For most of the past three years, I dreamed of becoming a real programmer. And who wouldn’t? The perks were just too gratifying. Not only can your code bring you fame and glory, but you could influence the lives of many fellow developers. And, for quite some time, I felt like a Real Programmer. However, the more time I would put into learning new things, the more I would be convinced of my own demise. While I was trying to figure out how to use CSS to make a client’s website half decent, others were making crazy-ass experiments that involved more browser-specific tricks than all of jQuery. While I was battling with Javascript’s syntax errors, others were redefining the way we would write client-side apps.
