"can't program" is such a sweeping generalisation as to necessarily be null and void. I don't really think there is such a magic binary quality. Most everyone can learn programming and it's just a matter of patience and guidance. The only hopeless cases I've seen is folks who are poor coders but are convinced otherwise.
- mkozlows 12y agoThat's great, but if I'm hiring a person with ten years of experience whose resume is full of "senior developer" stuff, I don't think that either of us is interested in them doing an unpaid internship while we teach them the basics of programming.

- fishnchips 12y agoSure. Except that in real life things are rarely that clear-cut.
