“Come on, man! You’re not fooling anybody. You’re Beck, aren’t you?”

Um, sort of… I too spent a long time in the back-end C# world, so Beck’s journey is my journey too. What I realized as I started down a new path is that there’s a unique but fleeting perspective you attain as you approach an “Aha” moment. A misconception is cleared away. A missing piece clicks into place. You’ve got it. In that moment you both know and remember clearly what it was like not to know.

As time passes the learner’s perspective fades. The knowledge gets baked in. Being where you are doesn’t necessarily mean being able tell someone else how to get there, especially if it’s been a while.

So I created Beck to try to preserve the journey to “Aha”. He’ll be naive. His insights may be exaggerated for effect. And some of his exploits will be fictional. I hope this record of his travels will aid some future explorers in theirs.
