+# Epilogue {-}
It's often a cliche for an author to say that the book they wrote is the one they wished they'd read when they were learning the topic of the book. Perhaps it's a cliche because it's true: this is the book that I would have liked to have when I started this journey. Too often I would wonder if I was measuring up to whatever invisible barometer I'd created of the ideal programmer. Many times I would see the success of others and wonder if I was somehow defective in my learning. What was I doing wrong that others were doing right? Why were they successful in ways I couldn't achieve?
