I just find these odd. Does anyone struggle with this stuff? They just make it all look so easy.
I for one struggle quite a bit with coding, design, theory, and other aspects. I just don't get how so many people think coding is as easy as "reading a book" or "doing a tutorial".

- zcrackerz 7y agoWell, you're literally writing step-by-step instructions that a computer will faithfully perform without deviation. Once you understand how a computer works and how to talk to it, it should be as easy as having a conversation. I don't think this is easy, but when you've been doing it for years and years, it feels that way.
- jshowa3 7y agoComputers don't even operate solely step by step anymore. They often operate asynchronously, through interrupts, or compute things in parallel across multiple threads. Maybe if you're programming something simple, it will be "step by step". But most programs are not this simple.
- gnode 7y ago"Coding" is as meaningless a term as "writing". Much in the same way you can leverage basic writing skills to achieve entrepreneurial success, you can do so with coding skills. A literary academic may still consider writing to be a substantial exercise, probably more so than the untaught.
- jshowa3 7y agoThat's because the academic knows not to produce low quality content. The untaught often does not. I'm still reeling from having to maintain spaghetti code that some untaughts have churned out in my career.
