+//horrible recursive for loops are not fun
+//they aren't a good way to teach something
+//why can't we do fizzbuzz?
+//or make small games?
+//or do data manipulation?
+//or solve a problem?
+//or something more enjoyable than this?
+//maybe CS really should stay a hobbiest, self taught skill
+//at least when its a hobby you learn what matters at your own pace
+//here its just being given an unrealistic task that, albiet difficult, is not rewarding
+//making a diamond like this doesn't teach me good programming
+//it teaches me for loops
+//and nested for loops are usually not a good way to go about things
+//I just want to make command line tools and data parsers for gods sake!
+//maybe mom was right, I should just go for law
+//sysadmining seems nice though, I could do that
+//yeah, law or sysadmin. That seems nice
+//or I could write and edit for a living, that doesn't seem too bad
