I think the problem is that much of 'software literacy' not about writing code that does what you want, but about nailing down WHAT you want and HOW to do that correctly. It requires a level of, I guess, pedantry and a way of thinking that, based on my experience with hundreds of clients, most people just don't have or care about enough.
- lifeisstillgood 5y agoI honestly believe that everyone cares more than enough about the thing they care about. But not everyone cares about the same thing the same way at the same time. Hence the impossibility of writing even a text editor like Word that suits everyone's needs. If you cannot do that for a text editor how can you do it for ... everything? We need to give people pens and notebooks and also a dozen years of education.
