I'm beginning to think your mom is smarter for not knowing how to code, because she hasn't been biased yet by exposure to mainstream tools.
- MiguelHudnandez 14y agoI understand your point, but I am having a hard time accepting use of the word "smarter" to describe ignorance. Perhaps there is value in a blank slate, but that is definitely not being smart.
- saraid216 14y agoThere's a usefulness to coming at a problem from a completely new direction, but it's orthogonal by virtue of being orthogonal. Why is the alphabet the best way? Couldn't we express ideas better? (And I actually keep an eye on the constructed language space, so I actually know people who say, "Yes.")
