I’m surprised by your tone and assumptions, and I think you may be misinterpreting what I wrote. If the author had gone through that process and included it, it would be a much more honest and accurate article. As it stands, the lack of any mention of the process makes the article shallow and overly “anyone can _easily_ do it”. I think an important part of representing switching into software is being realistic about the hard parts as well, and I found that lacking in the author’s story.
