1. How’s ucsb?
   I think this quote sums it up nicely. I replaced all occurrences of the word “electrochemistry” with “ucsb.”

   Go to party planet. Love and be loved by drugs.

   ucsb is the animal within you, the beast longing to be unleashed to indulge and enjoy. It enables you to take drugs with fewer negative side-effects. It also enables you to better investigate lurid matters – if you need to understand a chemical breakdown, or talk to someone blasted out of their mind, or understand sexual dynamics, ucsb is there to guide you.

   At high levels, ucsb makes you a man of unrestrained pleasure – an unrepentant Lothario who leers at people with a bottle of speed and a plastic bendy straw in either hand. Without a working knowledge of drugs and sex, the city will be difficult to understand.

2. What programming language should I learn first?
   Doesn’t matter. Pick a language, write some code. If you want to end up in corporate, try JavaScript or Python. If you want to be an elite hacker, try Rust or a Lisp dialect. If you don’t even like programming and happen to be a mathematician, try Haskell.
