The problem is not that he's learning, he's teaching.
- dhaivatpandya 14y agoWhy is that a problem? As I pointed out, he's just showed us a metaprogramming trick he thought was cool. That is no indication that he is an inept programmer or someone that should be allowed to teach something like RubyMotion (if he was writing a book on metaprogramming, that's another thing).
- mylittlepony 14y agoNo problem at all, I was talking about the book. Even if he hasn't lied, when one reads the "author" section, it sounds like he's an expert. In the description of the book it also says it can help you even if you are a "veteran", which might be true (or not), but makes one think he is a veteran too. It's misleading.
- chris_wot 14y agoWhat, teachers should never learn?
- mylittlepony 14y agoThe basics? Yes they should learn that, years before starting to teach.
- dhaivatpandya 14y agoMetaprogramming isn't a basic part of any programmer's education.
