Programmers are not born. They're made.
You may have a certain aptitude or talent for software development. However talent without discipline fizzles out or produces wildly varying results. Talent is like that.
What makes a good programmer, mathematician, sports player, etc is discipline. The love of the craft/sport/etc that pushes a person to believe that all the discipline and hard work is worth it. People are naturally lazy. However if they really believe in something they will work on it and become better.
- cloudhead 15y agoI completely agree, but at the same time, discipline alone doesn't make a good programmer. You need the other half.
- agentultra 15y agoI think you can become a great programmer without any natural talent for it at all. I just don't think you'll find it that interesting... so staying disciplined will probably be very masochistic.
