Also, I’ve seen smart people just not have the patience required to work on programs. There’s a level of pain tolerance required for debugging, for example, that some people just can’t handle - or don’t want to.
- matwood 8y agoAgreed. The patience comes from actual interest. Few people if any just sit down and code a whole program from start to finish without hitting any bumps. A person's tolerance for dealing with those bumps will determine if they can be a programmer or not. No matter how smart someone might be, there comes a point where they will have to grind out a solution to a problem. That means sitting in the front of the compute for hours with seemingly no progress. That is challenging for many people.
