RE: How to get started with programming

in #programming8 years ago

In my experience probably only 5% of the CompSci students, undergrade or grad school, really got it and were elegant and skilled at writing code or designing an architecture. The rest were just able to functionally regurgitate a learned skill if at all

The big debate is whether they functionally are unable to get it or if they just lack passion, drive and motivation. I'm undecided on whether programmers think differently or are fundamentally "special". I tried to find research on this a while back but couldn't find anything
