tl;dr
Programming is not as hard as people make it out to be.
- evincarofautumn 15y agoNo. Pointers and recursion are easy. Programming is hard, like writing and design, because it is both.
- danso 15y agoWhy can good programmers claim to be both good at writing and design whereas writers, under that taxonomy, are only good at writing? Isn't good writing inherently a type of good design, in terms of presenting an "interface" to the reader and adroitly arranging the elements?
- evincarofautumn 15y agoI meant only to equate the core skill set of the three. Programmers aren't necessarily good writers of literature or designers of graphics, but neither are writers necessarily good writers of software, nor artists good designers of it.
