You've rather obviously never been exposed to real great programmers. Your "can program" definition is actually describing a really bad programmer, and your "great programmer" definition describes most kids who make it past one semester of high school computer science class.
- RBerenguel 16y agoAs a side note, your 'obviously' probably means that most mathematicians I know are therefore not 'great programmers'. Ok, maybe my definition is flawed. But when they have to do some program to solve anything, they'll find a way to do it.
