- exodust 14y agoIf you can teach someone "10 print hello", and they replace hello with their own words, everyone able to be schooled can therefore participate in programming, and enjoy it within 5 minutes. These days there's an awesome range of tools and help for learning, just awesome. And the variety of scripting languages and low-level programming to get people started is really good too. I liked the original video's message. Can't really see why the article here is reacting. The woman in the video saying how she wish she'd known that software was for helping humans achieve things. Great message right there!

It's all about solving problems more efficiently or making things better/easier to use. This is a large part of why computers frustrate me so; it seems that most software companies wholly discard the notion of /user experience/.
