- amichail 5y agoIt seems to me that just using apps but never writing them is sort of like only reading a natural language but never writing in it.
- jstx1 5y agoWhy isn't it like driving a car and never building one? Or like using the bathroom but not wanting to be a plumber? Those seem like more appropriate analogies. People (including yourself) are using tonnes of tools that they never build themselves or don't have deeper interest in and that's perfectly fine.
- stairlane 5y agoI'm not sure that analogy is appropriate. Writing software requires a specific set of skills revolving around one tool (okay, there are many possible tools here): computers. You probably use another tool that provides tremendous use in your life: a car. Have you worked on a car before? Do you understand how all of it works? I use this analogy in contrast to yours because I do work on cars, and completely understand why hardly anybody does. It's incredibly time consuming, difficult, AND requires a specific set of skills revolving around certain tools. Most people are time and money constrained, and learning programming might not be worth the investment of either given their life circumstances.
- theandrewbailey 5y agoDifferent people are interested in different things. Just because I live in a house and drive a car doesn't mean that I want to personally build or fix them. Sure, it's 'really easy' (for you), but not everyone has the desire or talent to do so.
