Nice post Yann. Although I don't agree that using free resources is contrary to them being the best. Many of the very best resources for learning to program are free. From MDN to write you a Haskell for great good.

Open source is a deep rooted belief in computer science. As a result many people in the field believe in making resources free and open for everyone!

Also I like your idea of using time to help you focus. It's easy to get distracted when there's a lot of cool things to learn. That being said, sometimes getting distracted leads to discovering new and exciting concepts to learn.

Sure, I totally agree and the "Open Source" mentality is probably the thing I like the most in this new field I'm discovering. So yep, really happy that you comment and like you said, distractions are not always bad. They can lead to new exciting stuff. In fact, I would not be involved in coding right now if I didn't get distracted a bit...
