> > “Everybody should learn to program a computer, because it teaches you how to think" > – Steve Jobs As a critique, most programming is vastly overrated in terms of what this quote is claiming. I would say mathematics, art, and philosophy actually teach you how to think. It is much easier to program systems that work without thinking than it is to do those three fields in a successful way without thinking. And programming, more than anything, is about communication. Most programming, not all, is very simple logic. Good programming, in my opinion, will indeed capture a domain through some type of domain modeling process, but I highly doubt Jobs was even aware of this way of thinking about programming.
