take computer classes, dont do drugs, specialize in robotics, call your mother once a week, & try to see how things may be improved wherever you go

also install gentoo

I'm pretty sure this is b8, but I'll respond anyway.

Anon, if you haven't graduated from MIT with a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics and you're over the age of 16, you can forget programming. Seriously, the way everything is going there is absolutely no room for any kind of non-genius in programming. Why? Because it's turned into all plug-and-play apps. It's more secure, far cheaper, and easier to maintain. These days wanting a custom app is like wanting bespoke shoes: you'd better be rich as fuck and dumb.

If you want to make a difference, go into robotics.

That's bullshit. Programmers are still very much needed.
