Sounds like an intro CS class. Let's group people who played with this stuff for years with people who are here to get rich and people who have a theoretical aptitude, but never touched it.
- Spivak 5y agoI hated this. I literally had every advantage growing up, I'd been seriously programming since I was like 8, I took the CS AP tests on a whim without even taking the class because "eh why not." Then my freshman year I watched some of my classmates get wrecked for no reason other than they made the mistake of not having a decade of real world programming experience under their belt day 1 and all they were taught in class was basically math and pseudocode. I partnered with our CS club on campus and held workshops/hackathons aimed at actual beginners just because it made me so mad.
