Chess is easy. You get the chess board, learn a set of rules, and over time learn how to pick the right piece to play the game fairly well.
Being good at chess/programming would be totally different from knowing "whats happening programming/chess".
- bbarn 9y agoIf you want to use analogies, then winning at chess would be akin to developing software, which is the same distinction I made. Learning the rules of 6 pieces vs strategically using those rules to win are different things all together.
