Ask HN: How to be a good programmer if you have a hard time reading?
If you have a hard time reading, what should and can you do to be a good programmer?
- mspaulding06 10y agoYour reaction to reading is just an emotional response. You need to get over the fact that you don't like to read and do it. Eventually it will come naturally to you. That's one of the things that I learned from a CSCI professor when I was in school. Don't be concerned about your emotional response when you face a large coding problem, or any kind of difficulties. You can do it and you will if you really want it enough.
- GFK_of_xmaspast 10y ago> Your reaction to reading is just an emotional response That's certainly one claim, but on the other hand we have about a dozen decades of actual neurological research that doesn't agree with it.
- mspaulding06 10y agoThen what is it? Please help me understand this research that proves my statement incorrect.
- PaulHoule 10y agoIs it reading the code that is a problem or reading the documentation?
- HenryTheHorse 10y agoHow do you mean "hard time reading"? Attention span problem, comprehension issues or lack of interest in reading?
