Absolutely not. He states his vision very clearly in Learnable Programming, especially near the end: http://worrydream.com/LearnableProgramming/ > Programming has to work like this. Programmers must be able to read

Your plan to work through past Google Code Jam problems sounds great. I'm sure that process would help build your intuition for what tools are actually helpful when working on this specific type of problem, which would probably have im

I think the idea of showing runtime data in various forms to help programmers understand what their programs do is a great idea with a lot of promise — it's my main research area. And this demo shows a plausible way to get some of that

Hi Armin, looks great! I can see this being a valuable resource for people that want to understand how great coders do their thing. I'd suggest adding Jonathan Blow, an indie game developer of Braid and The Witness who designs and buil

But more importantly, it's very helpful for those we don't have affinities for!

Non-violent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg. After reading this book, the way I related and communicated with people completely changed. Concretely, right after I read it, a break up that would have been very tense for me became straigh

As I said near the end of the video, this is a research project meant to demonstrate the concept and a lot of engineering would need to be done to make it work generically. If a small team were to tackle the project, I estimate it would ta

While I showed REPLugger with a JavaScript program I wrote, the principles apply to any language, even compiled ones (if they compile fast enough).

You can skirt being prejudiced toward a specific group by just using the general case of someone inexperienced with programming.

Having worked as a researcher at Dynamicland, I think this is one of the most important bits from the end of the article: > A lot of what's new about Dynamicland is that it's a programming system! We've had projec

Yes totally this! It's called exposure therapy and apparently has good therapeutic outcomes for specific phobias. Great comment!

Yo, I have to say something about the sexism in the parent comment for this thread. Specifically: > You want my mother to be programming? My sister? This is sexist because it assumes that those people (women) can't / sho

Lots of good stuff in this thread, but I'd like to emphasize seeing a therapist (not necessarily a doctor, who is probably a lot more trained in medical procedures than emotional well-being). From experience, there is something very po

The book "Non-violent Communication" changed my life. After I read it, I had some of the best communication with romantic partners I ever had. I also had fights with friends transform into heartfelt conversations when I was practi

What exactly felt good about FiveSquare Eve / WikiEve / Smalltalk Eve? What internal criteria did it satisfy and how did you know?

Hm, that's an interesting claim! That there may be an essential, unavoidable complexity to certain types of software creation. And maybe the Eve team was trying to create tools that avoided or simplified that complexity enough to allow

It's neat seeing all the prototypes in one place. It looks like the team was trying to find what the product wanted to be. Is it a spreadsheet? Is it a wiki? A database? A web application maker? A REPL? A literate IDE? Some combination
