Answer to How do you become a great programmer?

I asked a great developer, "How do you become a great programmer?". I liked his answer alot: "Lol, actually, I believe programming is all attitude towards your coding. Imagine if you'd lost a gold ring in a room full of trash, what would you do? Exactly same kind of attitude is required. Just attitude! No body remembers the code, if you will go on a holiday for a long time you would find yourself lost to some extent. It is just that attitude to get your gold ring back that helps :)"

So you have met Doug Englebart? ;-) He gave the "mother of all demos" in the late 1960’s: This was the public debut of the computer mouse. But the mouse was only one of many innovations demonstrated that day, including hypertext, object addressing and dynamic file linking, as well as shared-screen collaboration involving two persons at different sites communicating over a network with audio and video interface. He is also known as the inventor of the mouse. -- Niraj
