> "children" need to stay out of programming
Before I could drive, my father would taxi me to computer user group meetings and such.
I've always talked too much, asked stupid questions. One time, a guy dismissed my question about tablet input devices, something like "You're too young to know about that kind of thing."
It was one of the few times I've seen my father get genuinely pissed off.
- pfortuny 4y ago“There is no stupid question” is something any teacher should get ingrained in the minds of the students. Of course once the student STUDIES.
- ben_w 4y agoTeachers definitely need to act like there are no dumb questions. Not because dumb questions don't exist — I've asked plenty of dumb questions (are my closed physics stack exchange questions visible anywhere?) — but because they're a necessary step to getting good.
