I’ve noticed my geek ego being aggravated a few times lately so I figured I’d better work on a more effective personal implementation of IHumbleProgrammer. My current implementation seems to be leading to errors in my thought process and even causing my learning to hang. Please excuse the VB.NET, poor formatting, and lack of a valid unit test.
