Well I didn't say that. Note the not-so-subtle distinction.
- wpietri 12y agoIt's a distinction without a difference. The goal of being a programmer is also not being a well-rounded programmer. It's still tautological.
- nkozyra 12y agoThe "goal" of learning to program can be a myriad things, from simple hobby to being a CEO. If one presumes that the goal in some way hinges on being "good" at programming, then learning good habits is certainly a step on any of the possible paths.
