You might as well say "basketball is easy". Sure, dribbling a ball can be taught instantly, but your 3 pt percentage or rebounding skill can continually improve over the course of a career.
Just because you taught some 3rd graders a for loop doesn't make them coders and it certainly doesn't make them engineers.
The programming is easy myth is doubly bad: it sets a false expectation for the aspirants and belittles actual engineers' lifetimes of study.
- drakaal 12y agoMastering anything is hard. But kids play basketball. I can cook, but I'm not a master chef. That doesn't mean I don't do it. Nor does it mean "cooking is hard". Riding a bicycle is a lot harder than basketball.
