I was instantly hooked, programmed daily, and some 35 years later I'm still lovin' it.
This doesn't demonstrate innate ability. It demonstrates your interest in programming. Do we have natural born interests?
- ctdonath 13y agoOk, so how should I phrase it? I grok most programming concepts immediately. When about to take my AP test in programming, my brother realized I was completely lacking in knowledge about pointers, spent a couple hours going over linked lists etc, and the next day aced the test - which was mostly about pointers. I don't know what verbiage would constitute "demonstrate innate ability" to you. I thought what I wrote did.
