The most interesting thing for me was the use of Lisp they did:

To read this was a very important resource for my own education. I was shown the power of Lisp by a man that looked wired to emacs and so fast typing I could not follow him on the screen that solved problems orders of magnitude faster than me using this "wizard language" I could not understand.

It was mind blowing but at the same time very confusing, so I started searching material over Lisp that I could digest one step at a time and(combined with books I bought) that was very useful because it talked about real problems, not super simple simplifications like books did.
