In any case, I think a bit of clarification on your part would’ve definitely helped before I wrote this Thanks for reading and clarifying, and I hope you didn’t think I was bashing you or your blog.

@Tristan – I’ve heard that phrase, but I wasn’t trying to get that point across in this post I wrote. If you notice in the end, I wrote that once you have a firm grasp of a programming language (to the point where you’re confident saying “Yes, I know the language very well” in an interview), then you should learn something new. I didn’t mean learn something a little bit, then move on to the next. I tried that when I was starting out, and it didn’t work at all. However, your comment got me thinking, why would anyone apply for a job when they don’t have the knowledge of what’s required? For example, I’ve used Python for a bit now on my own time, but don’t consider myself to be ready for any job that requires a Python developer. Simply put, I’m not a Python developer now, so I wouldn’t even try to apply (unless they said that the job would train prospective employees to learn Python, but those generous types of jobs are few and far in between). I do get what you mean, but you probably misunderstood what I meant in my post.

The linked author is saying instead of saying in a interview “Yeah, i played with it” you should be able to say, “yes, i know the language very well”. Lets face it, ADHD is not a good strategy for getting a job, and its not a good strategy for obtaining knowledge either.
