You simply don't achieve god-like expertise in any field using guidelines from retarded anonymous message board.
You be a top tier mathematician that happens to be interested in computers. You cant be a computer scientist that's interested in learning only a little math.

You have to stay away from the Internuts. Just get an old computer from the 70's or 80's that doesn't even have a modem. Now you can only focus on your algorithms and shit.
Knuth did this, even another famous writter uses old DOS machine with WordStar.
The Internuts is just here to drive us all insane.
