That comment right here is spot on.
It is the same like driving a car - you cannot teach someone driving a car by having a lecture, you also cannot teach someone driving a car when all they need is train line and they are happy with it.
Most of the discussion about "people not fit for the job" is mostly about if a person has real interest in topic to grind through and find their way around the topic.
I find people who are not interested in computers who suck at using them, but a lot of times it is only that they are not interested while having to use it for some things. All people that put effort and are interested get by quite well.
- kiba 3y agoThe comment actually demonstrate desirable difficulty, not the fact that you can't teach someone. The way they taught debugging is flawed.
- ozim 3y agoFor me "demonstrate desirable difficulty" seems like "can't teach in a class setting" which in context of "why don't schools teach debugging" seems like "can't teach someone". You most likely can teach someone in 1on1 setting and it would be easy to setup something to work together but that won't work at school. Even when we had laboratories at university there was not enough time to get everyone through laboratory exercise in smaller group than a lecture.
