Making sure my family (better half and three kids) got to do everything they
normally did while I was doing my MS program. Big shift from Finance to
Engineering and the learning on all fronts constantly, both family power and
computing power has been amazing!

I taught myself to code by post/mail.

I didn't make the smartest choices when I was young(er), but I turned that
around, found a career, ended up co-founding a company and making a cool game
([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nethernet](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nethernet))
then started a new company to help people figure out wtf they can do with
their lives ([https://www.somewhere.com](https://www.somewhere.com)).

Saying that though, the stupid robots I built, the side-projects and the
articles in Hack Circus mean just as much.

Of course, pride comes before a fall so, yeah, cheers.... ;)

I got in to CMU for my Masters. Mustered up the guts to quit my job and do it
full time. Because I wasn't a citizen (or PR) back then, I didn't get any aid
and had no savings at all. I got myself five credit cards and paid my fees
with that and then managed to do balance transfers between them and maintained
a low interest rate (< 4%) and paid it all within 3 years.

I mentioned this as my "hack" in one of my YC applications and the few who
reviewed my app (prior to formal application) all said, "oh this is a known
trick. it has been used before". Anyways, I am still happy and proud that took
the plunge, did my masters and I am better for it.
