The people at warrior forum are a mix bunch. There are good people who genuinely want to help others, on the other hand there are the internet marketers (or spammers) who would ruthlessly push products in that forum.

I once read a post from a company's founder who is involved in the business of hiring fresh talents for tech companies.
Basically, what he does is whine and whine about the lack of talent because most fresh graduates want to build a start-up for themselves instead of joining a company.
He tries to convince fresh graduates that they are better of joining established companies because most startups fail anyway. It seems like people distort their values when it comes to self-interest.
I said he does so because he is once the founder of a startup himself. Why would he discourage others from doing the same.
A while ago I was reading a blog post and I spotted a grammar error. The post was good but it made me a little uncomfortable.
So I decided to make it right. I used chrome developer tools's edit html feature... I edited the html and behold the grammar error was gone. I read the paragraph again with pure delight. I love technology.
Idea Generated:
There are lots of blog posts out there that have good content, but sometimes they are not written well or grammar errors exists because of lack of proof-reading.
What if there was a web-app where readers can correct blog posts or articles. Of course, it needs the approval of the author. There might be a 'Correct me if I have grammar errors' button of some sort somewhere in the post.
The editor is not allowed to edit the meaning of the content, only the typos and/or grammar errors, which of course needs the approval of the author. It's like github for blog posts and articles.
OpenSSL is like a guardian angel who's invisible to a person. The guardian angel has been helping the person all the time even though he/she doesn't know it. Then the time came that the guardian angel made a little unintentional mistake that led to large consequences. The person then starts blaming the guardian angel, forgetting all the good things the angel has done for him/her.

Why not think outside the box. (I apologize for the overused cliché.) Reading is only a means for learning something which is the outcome that you want.
Like you I like reading books (and still do), but I found out that I can learn much faster and efficiently through programming courses offered in sites like tutsplus, treehouse, infiniteskills, etc.
That doesn't mean that you should stop reading books, for all I know those video courses are an effective learning companion. You can subscribe to any learning sites that you want, but if you ask me tutsplus is a good one.
"Vigorous programming is concise. A method should contain no unnecessary statements, a class no unnecessary methods, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the programmer make all his methods short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his classes only in design, but that he make every statement tell."

Thanks. I was not aware of that feature yet. It would be nice if those pages (shared) are the ones google would list in the search results, but then quora needs its user sign-ups.
A video game can also make you open to all races. For example, when I was playing a popular role playing game I had people of all races in my party.
Role playing games in my opinion are a form of 'interactive fiction' whose outcome you can somewhat control. In short, they are also a stories.
The mode of storytelling is one of the most effective ways of communicating ideas to our mind, unconsciously, that is. By having meaningful interactions with virtual people of all races, it communicates to our mind that we are open to those type of experiences.
Create a product that you think people will like. In that way they will play with your app even if you don't ask them to do so. Provided it's good enough, early adopters will provide you feedback, which is what you want in the first place.
Like others said use what you feel you are most comfortable with. The reason is that when you don't like the technology you're using, no matter how popular or advanced it is, there is a possibility that you might lose interest.
But that's only a 'possibility,' we don't know you personally so we can't judge how determined you are to achieve your goals no matter what.
The damage has been done. Learn from it and move on.
