I just decided that I am going to attend Cal Poly SLO this Fall for grad school in CS. The possibility of attending any grad school would not have been possible if it was not for everyone on this list that I have had the pleasure of interacting with (my Python work made up the bulk of my application). When I joined the list I was just some kid who loved programming (still am, actually =) but had zero confidence in his abilities. Then, as I listened on the list, observing how real development was done, I began to learn. When I picked up the Summaries I had an inkling of how Python's internals worked. Now I know how a huge C code base can magically make a bunch of text written in some whitespace-heavy language into something cool. And when I got CVS access I was scared out of my wits of touching other people's code and applied patches. Now I have managed to do that, fix my own broken code, and cause several tests to fail and break other people's code. As you can tell I am still working on this one. =) I know there is no way I would be anywhere near the level of coder that I am now if it was not for everyone on this list. You all have given me almost every major personal programming achievement in my life. I feel like I can call myself a programmer now thanks to all of you. So, thanks to all. This means I ain't goin' no where now so you guys are going to have to keep putting up with me. =) -Brett
