Just today, there was a post at Coding Horror, which was itself a follow up to another excellent post, about whether or not learning a programming language is a good use of your time. I think you should read those before you get too invested in the idea of teaching yourself how to program.

That second post caused a bit of a furor, which was mostly disagreement. E.g. the Hacker News thread, and several (hundred?) other blog posts.

And the first post is also causing disagreement (again, the relevant HN thread).
