How to become a good programmer?

Or: how to learn X.

This pops up on Reddit every week.

That is the wrong question.

The right question is: what is the most awesome project I can do to improve the world?

Then, once you decide to try one, if that involves programming, learn to program to achieve that goal.

And if doesn't involve programming, then don't learn to program, and learn whatever you actually need to reach that goal instead.

Having that goal is the only way to be motivated to do something.
